Promises promises thats all I ever get
You said youd quit that trucking but you aint quit it yet
Each time you come dragging in you say Ill have my way
Youll find a joke right here at home but thatll be the day
A little Danny boy was born in Amarrillo while you was somewhere on the road
You said you were snowbind in Idaho haulin some heavy load
And when you lost that rig and done her pass honey you said youd quit that day
You swore that run would be your last but ha thatll be the day
Promises promises…
You know Judys gonna marry the boy next door the one that youve never even met
You told me that youd get the drive away but well I know that youll forget
And when they ask me where you are each night I dont know what to say
Were lonesome and wantin you home with us but thatll be the day
Promises promises…
