Promises

I said yes sir I'll have her home by 10
At 11:15 we were in the driveway kissin'
There's a party tonight in my buddy's field
I promised mama I would'nt even have one beer

All these promises I know I can't keep
There's a price to pay for what I say It ain't always cheap
I get in over my head sometimes way too deep
Stumbling over all these promises
I know I can't keep

I told my moma I'd be good in school
Then I busted some loud mouth's lip I felt so damn cool
I told my daddy I'd never touch that chew
When he found that can of wintergreen I didn't know what to do

All these promises I know I can't keep
There's a price to pay for what I say It ain't always cheap
I get in over my head sometimes way too deep
Stumbling over all these promises
I know I can't keep

Yeah they may come to haunt me some day
God only knows I can't control
What I say

All these promises I know I can't keep
There's a price to pay for what I say It ain't always cheap
I get in over my head sometimes way too deep
Stumbling over all these promises
I know I can't keep

Stumbling over all these promises
I know I can't keep
