Lyrics The Promise - Andy Black

The Promise

Living on the west side, born and raised
Made a deal with the devil, found glory days
There’s no way that I’ll stay
Driving down on highway 75
Watch the world come down on borrowed time
Find some way to escape
But we all find home
We all find home
Do you remember all the plans we made?
Hopin', prayin' for a better day
Tell me what ever happened to the love we gave?
The promise that we both betrayed
And the songs we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me what ever happened to what I’ve become?
The pain I feel for where I’m from
Hangin' from the cross on 50 West
Got a dream and a chance to run from this
I’m locked in, believin'
Drinkin' 'til I’m lost and giving it up
Another day, another chance to test my luck
Way out there they won’t care
But we can’t get out
We can’t get out
Do you remember all the plans we made?
Hopin', prayin' for a better day
Tell me what ever happened to the love we gave?
The promise that we both betrayed
And the songs we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me what ever happened to what I’ve become?
The pain I feel for where I’m from
In the city I found my hope
I know, I feel it
My purpose to end it
I can’t go home
Do you remember all the plans we made?
Hopin', prayin' for a better day
Tell me what ever happened to the love we gave?
The promise that we both betrayed
And the songs we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me what ever happened to what I’ve become?
The pain I feel for where I’m from
Do you remember all the plans we made?
Hopin', prayin' for a better day
Tell me what ever happened to the love we gave?
The promise that we both betrayed
