(Allen Shamlin/Gary Burr)

I'm A Man Of My Word
I Mean What I Say
My Pledge Is My Bond
Well
That's Just My Way
When You've Made A Promise
To Someone Who's Gone
Well
That's When Forever
Seems A Little Too Long

I'm A Man Of My Word
And
I Made You A Vow
I Swore That I'd Love You
And I Can't Change That Now
They Tell Me I'm Free
To Find Someone New
I Just Don't Have The Heart
'Cause I Gave Mine To You

I Said My Love
Would Last For All Time
And
No One
Would Take Your Place
Well If That Promise
Was The Last Sound You Heard
Well You Know I Kept It
I'm A Man Of My Word

I'm A
Man Of My Word
And It's Cost Me So Dear
'Cause Those Words Are A Prison
Without
You Here
And I'll Go To My Grave
With This Torch Held High
Bust Just
Once I Wish
I Had Told You A Lie.

Yes I'll Always Love You
I'm
A Man Of My Word
