I would be better off not think
all these promises to keep
It all seems so big and hard to embrace
I'm at this impossible age
I'm in side these four walls figuring out
How to make it work from day to day
To my mother, my brother,
my sister and wife, our kids
Gotta wake up in the morning
and in the evening romance
I wish I had promises to keep
We are turning right to Ses
To a so ciety life that's church
and I lost tomorrow, give me a break
Gotta wake up in the morning,
I'll make it all into a dance
I wish I had promises to keep,
and the little ones to come
a chance to justify existence
and in the evening romance
Then I'll wake up to the empty day
I wish I had promises to keep
