[Verse 1]
I've been on the road, bringing back money
Yeah, I've been digging gold, I hope you still want me
I know I've been gone a little too long
But money don't grow, so I gotta go
I've been chasing dimes
It's been so lonely, yeah, I've been in the mines
I'm sorry my hours don't work out right
I know I keep you up at night
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ain't much changed but my age
The man you love is the same
Don't you know that hearts can break easy?
I gave you the best of my pieces
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll let me come back home
Keep my bed warm
'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you
Only say you'll be there when I do
[Verse 2]
Promise you get the best of me
Only you get the rest of me
Got my mind on your waist
You're the life of my party
Got a lot to do, can't stay in one place too long
I've been on the move, I know you've been waiting
But here's the truth
I want someone to come home to
I've been on the road, bringing back money
Yeah, I've been digging gold, I hope you still want me
I know I've been gone a little too long
But money don't grow, so I gotta go
I've been chasing dimes
It's been so lonely, yeah, I've been in the mines
I'm sorry my hours don't work out right
I know I keep you up at night
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ain't much changed but my age
The man you love is the same
Don't you know that hearts can break easy?
I gave you the best of my pieces
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll let me come back home
Keep my bed warm
'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you
Only say you'll be there when I do
[Verse 2]
Promise you get the best of me
Only you get the rest of me
Got my mind on your waist
You're the life of my party
Got a lot to do, can't stay in one place too long
I've been on the move, I know you've been waiting
But here's the truth
I want someone to come home to
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ain't much changed but my age
The man you love is the same
And don't you know that hearts can break easy?
I gave you the best of my pieces
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll let me come back home
Keep my bed warm
'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you (Back to you)
Only say you'll be there when I do
[Bridge]
Promise me, we're not gonna lose this
'Cause I'm on my way right now
It's only home with you in it
Now I'm so close, it's unfair
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ain't much changed but my age
The man you love is the same
And don't you know that hearts can break easy?
I gave you the best of my pieces
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll let me come back home
Keep my bed warm
'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you (Back to you)
Only say you'll be there when I do
'Cause ain't much changed but my age
The man you love is the same
And don't you know that hearts can break easy?
I gave you the best of my pieces
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll let me come back home
Keep my bed warm
'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you (Back to you)
Only say you'll be there when I do
[Bridge]
Promise me, we're not gonna lose this
'Cause I'm on my way right now
It's only home with you in it
Now I'm so close, it's unfair
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause ain't much changed but my age
The man you love is the same
And don't you know that hearts can break easy?
I gave you the best of my pieces
[Chorus]
Promise me you'll let me come back home
Keep my bed warm
'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you (Back to you)
Only say you'll be there when I do
[Outro]
Promise me
Promise me
Promise you get the best of me
Only you get that recipe
Got my mind on your waist
Promise me
Promise me
Promise you get the best of me
Only you get that recipe
Got my mind on your waist
