Steve Earle - Until The Day I Die lyrics

Back in the hills when we were only kids Love shined like a diamond in your eyes I swore i'd never hurt you - then i did Now i'm all alone with all my lies I promised that i'd never be untrue I'd never make you cry The only promise that i didn't break Was to love you until the day i die I wish i'd never seen those city lights A sight for a country boy to see For every one that you see shinin' bright Another is burnin' out like me I wouldn't listen though you told me dear I couldn't see the lie But all the same i still love you tonight And i'll love you until the day i die They built this prison just for fools like me Who don't know a treasure from a stone I k**ed a man now i won't ever see The green rollin' hills where i was born No i won't ever see your face again But if i close my eyes I can almost hear you call me back to then And i'll love you until the day i die
