I was in love with a pretty little country girl We were gonna marry and settle down So I went off to work to buy her the world And she ran off cuz I was never around CHORUS It seems to me I’m makin' promises.. I never Keep Too many to even mention What matters the most is at the bottom of the heap So I guess that’s why they say the road to hell Is paved with good intentions I said we’d play in just a little while My boy was beggin to play some ball Before I knew it he was no longer a child Don't you know we never played at all! CHORUS
