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 she's been told   She'd be a rich woman now, if promises were gold      By six o'clock he'll miss her rusty Chevy   Won't take long to notice dinner isn't ready   Then he'll call up everyone she knows   Sayin' I'll do her right if she'll 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 she's been told   She'd be a rich woman now, if promises were gold      She didn't take much   Just the heart she once wore on her sleeve   She's 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 she's been told   She'd be a rich woman now, if promises were gold
