The Promise

The Promise - Sturgill Simpson/Clive Farrington/Andrew Mann/Michael Floreale

If you need a friend

Don't look to a stranger

You know in the end

I'll always be there

When you're in doubt

When you're in danger

Take a look all around

I'll be there

I'm sorry

But I'm just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while

I'll make you fall for me

I promise I promise you I will

When your day is through

And so is your temper

You know what to do

I'm gonna always be there

Sometimes if I shout

It's not what's intended

These words just come out

With no gripe to bear

I'm sorry

But I'm just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while

I'll make you fall for me

I promise I promise you I will

I'm sorry

But I'm just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while

I'll make you fall for me

I promise you I promise you

I'm sorry

But I'm just thinking of the right words to say

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be

But if you wait around a while

I'll make you fall for me

I promise you I promise you I will
