ThereĄŻs a bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
and a woman in my arms who shouldnĄŻt be
iĄŻm to the point of no returning but iĄŻve been here before
this cheating life is nothing new to me
thereĄŻs someone to be considered so i call her on the phone
and say the job is taking longer than i planned i donĄŻt have the heart to tell her
that a strangerĄŻs turned me on and iĄŻm headed for
the boken promise land
Chorus:
tonight, iĄŻm crossing over and iĄŻll reach the cheating side
and iĄŻll hate myself for coming here again
where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies
a place they call the broken promise land
I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door
and on the floor i found her goldeb wedding band
guess she finally had to tell me sheĄŻs not waiting anymore
sheĄŻs headed for the broken promise land
Chorus ii:
tonight sheĄŻs crossing over and sheĄŻll reach the cheating side
and iĄŻll hate myself for giving her the chance
cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies
a place they call the broken promise land
