There¡¯s a bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
and a woman in my arms who shouldn¡¯t be
i¡¯m to the point of no returning but i¡¯ve been here before
this cheating life is nothing new to me
there¡¯s someone to be considered so i call her on the phone
and say the job is taking longer than i planned i don¡¯t have the heart to tell her
that a stranger¡¯s turned me on and i¡¯m headed for
the boken promise land
Chorus:
tonight, i¡¯m crossing over and i¡¯ll reach the cheating side
and i¡¯ll 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 she¡¯s not waiting anymore
she¡¯s headed for the broken promise land
Chorus ii:
tonight she¡¯s crossing over and she¡¯ll reach the cheating side
and i¡¯ll 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
