Linda Davis - Promises Were Gold

She knows three years was too long to keep waiting
But somehow she was hoping she could change him
Still all his words turned to dust
And who can survive in a love without trust

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sittin' high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie she's been told
She'd be a rich woman now if promises were gold

By six o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy
Won't take long to notice dinner isn't ready
Then he'll call up everyone she knows
Saying I'll do her right if she'll only come home

But if promises were gold she could pay off all the bills...

She didn't take much just the heart she once wore on her sleeve
She's leaving behind every line she tried to believe

And if promises were gold she could pay off all the bills...
