There¡¯s a Bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
And a woman in my arms who shouldn¡¯t be
I¡¯m to the point of no returning but I¡¯ve been here before
This cheating life is nothing new to me
There¡¯s someone to be considered so I call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than I planned I don¡¯t have the heart to tell her
That a stranger¡¯s turned me on and I¡¯m headed for
The boken promise land
Chorus:
Tonight, I¡¯m crossing over and I¡¯ll reach the cheating side
And I¡¯ll hate myself for coming here again
Where the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies
A place they call the broken promise land
I found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door
And on the floor I found her goldeb wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me She¡¯s not waiting anymore
She¡¯s headed for the broken promise land
Chorus II:
Tonight she¡¯s crossing over and she¡¯ll reach the cheating side
And I¡¯ll hate myself for giving her the chance
Cause the streets are paved with misery and lives are built on lies
a place they call the broken promise land
