Dean Strickland - The Commitment lyrics

Sad former brother-in-law It's such a shame How common place Single parenting is these days Your first mistake Was letting work get in the way The long hours you kept Gave her time to stray Imagine what could've been Had you been with her to say CHORUS: Ive made all these commitments To running this old business That you probably think Ive forgotten Whats most important in my life The commitment I made To spend it with you my wife Theres an old similar story I probably shouldve told you before You see, my father was a real hard worker He spent his days and nights doing chores But wiser than the new generation He knew when enough was enough And he never forgot or left lonesome The only woman he ever loved He'd say to her CHORUS Now, the long nights I spend In the honky tonks and clubs Doesnt give me much time for nothin Except singin bout love, and lost love But Ive made myself a promise When I find that one special girl Ill find time to be there for her So we can share our worlds I wont forget to say CHORUS
