OUT OF TOWN ON
BUSINESS
FAR AWAY FROM
HOME
HE FOUND HIMSELF
TEMPTED BY
HER CHARMS
HER DARK EYES
WERE INVITING
NO ONE WOULD
EVER KNOW
IF HE SPENT THE NIGHT
LYIN' IN HER ARMS
AS HE GOT UP
FROM THE TABLE
AND HE WENT TO
PAY THE TAB
A PICTURE IN HIS WALLET
CAUGHT HIS EYE
IT WAS THE MOTHER
OF HIS CHILDREN
HIS FAITHFUL
TRUSTIN' WIFE
HE WALKED ON OUT
THAT DOOR
HE DIDN'T EVEN
SAY GOODBYE
HE WAS STANDIN'
ON THE PROMISES
THAT HE MADE HER
HOLDIN' TO THOSE
SACRED WORDS
THAT HE GAVE HER
OH IT WOULD'VE
BEEN SO EASY
TO FORGET WRONG
OR RIGHT
OH IT LOOKED LIKE
HE WAS RUNNIN'
OH HE HAD WON
THE FIGHT
HE WAS STANDIN' ON
THE PROMISES
OF LOVE
AT AN OFFICE DOWN
ON MAIN STREET
SHE WORKS BESIDE
A MAN
WHO ALWAYS KNOWS THE
PERFECT THING TO SAY
POWER AND POSITION HE
SEEMS TO HAVE IT ALL
HE LETS HER KNOW HE
WANTS HER EVERYDAY
AND HE OFFERS HER
THE FINER THINGS
HE KNOWS SHE
CAN'T AFFORD
MARRIED TO A COMMON
WORKING MAN
BUT THE VOWS THEY MADE
ARE STILL AS STRONG
AS HIS TWO HARD
WORKIN' HANDS
SHE'S NOT ABOUT
TO RISK HIS LOVE
TO WALK ON
SHIFTIN' SAND
SHE KEEPS STANDIN'
ON THE PROMISES
THAT SHE MADE HIM
HOLDIN' TO THOSE
SACRED WORDS
THAT SHE GAVE HIM
OH THE PLACE SHE
CALLS HER HOME
IS NOT A MANSION
ON THE HILL
IT'S A LITTLE RED
BRICK CASTLE
THAT ONLY LOVE
COULD BUILD
SHE KEEPS STANDIN' ON
THE PROMISES
OF LOVE
WHEN THE TIES THAT
BIND ARE TESTED
AND HEARTS ARE
ON THE LINE
THERE'S NO STORM THAT
WE CAN'T WEATHER
OR MOUNTAIN WE
CAN'T CLIMB
STANDIN' ON THE
PROMISES
STANDIN' ON THE
PROMISES
IF WE KEEP
STANDIN' ON THE
PROMISES OF LOVE
