I Had Dreams That Were Bigger Than The Montana Sky
And We Were Gonna Do Great In Great Falls
I Just Knew We Were This Time
But When Winter Finally Broke, So Were We
You'll Never Know How Bad That Hurt
'Cause This Ain't What I Meant
When I Promised You The World
I Lost The Farm In Kansas
Along With A Lot Of Pride
Then I Almost Lost My Life
Down In That West Virginia Mine
And That Motel Room In Memphis
Was A Long Way From Diamonds And Pearls
And That Sure Ain't What I Meant
When I Promised You The World

I Swear Your Love Is Stronger
Than Any Dream Of Mine I've Ever Drug You Through
And I Swear I Wasn't Lyin'
They Just Never Did Come True
You've Always Bet On This Old Gambler
Every Time I Gave The Wheel A Whirl
But This Ain't What I Meant
When I Promised You The World

Now This Shreveport Sun Is Settin'
On Another Broken Dream Of Mine
And I Guess That Mansion On The Hill
Is Pretty Hard To See Tonight
But As Long As There's A Breath Of Life In Me
I'm Gonna Get It For You, Girl
'Cause This Ain't What I Meant
When I Promised You The World

I Swear Your Love Is Stronger
Than Any Dream Of Mine I've Ever Drug You Through
And I Swear I Wasn't Lyin'
They Just Never Did Come True
You've Always Bet On This Old Gambler
Every Time I Gave The Wheel A Whirl
But This Ain't What I Meant
When I Promised You The World

No, This Sure Ain't What I Meant
When I Promised You The World
