Aaron Tippin - I Promised You The World lyrics

(aaron tippin/bruce burch/vern dant) I had dreams that were bigger than the montana sky And we were gonna do great in great falls I just knew we were this time But when winter finally broke, so were we You'll never know how bad that hurt 'cause this ain't what i meant When i promised you the world I lost the farm in kansas Along with a lot of pride Then i almost lost my life Down in that west virginia mine And that motel room in memphis Was a long way from diamonds and pearls And that sure ain't what i meant When i promised you the world I swear your love is stronger Than any dream of mine i've ever drug you through And i swear i wasn't lyin' They just never did come true You've always bet on this old gambler Every time i gave the wheel a whirl But this ain't what i meant When i promised you the world Now this shreveport sun is settin' On another broken dream of mine And i guess that mansion on the hill Is pretty hard to see tonight But as long as there's a breath of life in me I'm gonna get it for you, girl 'cause this ain't what i meant When i promised you the world I swear your love is stronger Than any dream of mine i've ever drug you through And i swear i wasn't lyin' They just never did come true You've always bet on this old gambler Every time i gave the wheel a whirl But this ain't what i meant When i promised you the world No, this sure ain't what i meant When i promised you the world
