There's a Bible on the dresser And a sign hung on the door And a woman in my arms who shouldn't be I'm to the point of no returning But I've been here before This cheating life is nothing new to me There's someone to be considered So I call her on the phone And say the job is taking longer than I planned I don't have the heart to tell her That a stranger's turned me on And I'm headed for the broken promise land Tonight I'm crossing over And I'll reach the cheating side And I'll hate myself for coming here again Where the streets are paved with misery And lives are built on lies A place they call the broken promise land I found a note left on the dresser And a key left in the door And on the floor I found her golden wedding band Guess she finally had to tell me She's not waiting anymore She's headed for the broken promise land Tonight she's crossing over And she'll reach the cheating side And I'll hate myself for giving her the chance 'Cause the streets are paved with misery And lives are built on lies A place they call the broken promise land And it's more than I can stand
