Lyrics Making Promises - Indigo Girls

Making Promises

What am I gonna do with you?
So far away, it makes me blue
I never mind just being alone
but I felt defeated and I let it show
You know I could have ridden the rainbow
And this once I needed you to let me know
I couldn’t keep myself from making promises
I’m of two hearts and up all night
I couldn’t keep myself from making promises
I’m gonna get it right this time
Who’s gonna say you paid your dues
With the strung out soundman
and the promoter dude?
With a pat on the back just a little far down
You cut your teeth on a drinking crowd
Ah never mind you didn’t make it
What’s the point if you’re never gonna shake it?
And when the spring is coming around
And I’m feeling braver I’m gonna lay it down
And when the teenage hoodlums come out
I’m gonna give 'em a smile
And just a little doubt
Ah never mind you didn’t make it
What’s the point if you’re never gonna shake it?
