The Promise Songtext
von Sturgill Simpson

If you need a friend
Don′t look to a stranger
You know in the end, I'll always be there
But when you′re in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around, and I'll be there

I′m sorry, but I′m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I′ll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It′s not what's intended
These words just come out
With no gripe to bear


I′m sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I′ll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will

I′m sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don′t sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will

I gotta tell you
Need to tell you
Gotta tell you
I′ve gotta tell you

I'm sorry, but I′m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you

I′m sorry, but I′m just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
And if I had to walk the world, I′d make you fall for me
I promise you, I promise you I will
I will
I will
