(shawna harrington-burkart, karl hasten)

She knows three years was too long
To keep waiting
But somehow she was hoping she could
Change him
Still all his dreams 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 sittin 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

Buy 6 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

But, if promises were gold she could pay off
All the bills
And buy that pretty house sittin 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 leavin behind every lie she
Tried to believe

And if promises were gold she could pay off
All the bills
And buy that pretty house sittin 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
