(shawna harrington-burkhart/karl hasten)

She knows three years was too long to keep waitin
But somehow she was hopin she would change him
Still all his words turned to dust
And who can survive in a love without trust

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie shes been told
Shed be a rich woman now, if promises were gold

By six oclock hell miss her rusty chevy
Wont take long to notice dinner isnt ready
Then hell call up everyone she knows
Sayin Ill do her right if shell only come home

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie shes been told
Shed be a rich woman now, if promises were gold

She didnt take much
Just the heart she once wore on her sleeve
Shes leaving behind
Every line she tried to believe

If promises were gold she could pay off all the bills
And buy that pretty house sitting high on the hill
If she only had the money for every lie shes been told
Shed be a rich woman now, if promises were gold
