Lyrics:
Theres a bible on the dresser and a sign hung on the door
And a woman in my arms that shouldnt be
Unto the point of no returning that Ive been here before
This cheatin life is nothing new to me
Theres someone to be considered, Ill call her on the phone
And say the job is taking longer than I planned
I dont have the heart to tell her that a stranger turned me on
And Im headin for the broken promised land
Tonight Im crossing over and Ill reach the cheating side
And Ill hate myself for coming here again
Where the streets are paved with misery and the lives are built on lies
The place they call the broken promised land
Found a note left on the dresser and a key left in the door
And on the floor I found her golden wedding band
Guess she finally had to tell me, shes not waiting anymore
And shes heading for the broken promised land
Tonight shes crossing over and shell reach the cheatin side
And Ill hate myself for giving her the chance
Cause the streets are paved in misery and lives are built on lies
The place they call the broken promised land
And its more than I can stand
