Hank Williams III - I Promised lyrics

She's standing high on cloud nine, believing all my lies I was trying to win her over, and did to my surprise I don't have all the things I said I could give her I promised her a moon that I can't deliver She'll be hurt when she finds I'm a dead dreamin' fool Although she might forgive, she won't like being used I offered her life lined with gold and silver I promised her the moon that I can't deliver She's too happy to be hurt so I'll starve for a time I don't know what I've got that makes her eyes shine But I've got her heart rollin' like and overflowin' river I've promised her a moon that I can't deliver She'll be hurt when she finds I'm a dead dreamin' fool Although she might forgive, she won't like being used I offered her life lined with gold and silver I promised her the moon that I can't deliver Now I'll face reality with what I've got to thrill her I promised her a moon, and that's what I'm going to give her
