The Promise

Sturgill Simpson

3

If you need a friend

Don′t look to a stranger

You know in the end, I'll always be thereBut when you′re in doubt

And when you're in danger

Take a look all around, and 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

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

I gotta tell you

Need to tell you

Gotta tell you

I′ve gotta tell 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, 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

And if I had to walk the world, I′d make you fall for me

I promise you, I promise you I will

I will

I will
