Five Good Promises

Lyrics:

Down by the riverside, autumn wind blows cold
The river just keeps rolling by with just a hint of snow
I continue standing here, where did you go
Ain’t no use to worry, some things I’ll never know

Last thing that you told me, before you slammed the door
This ain’t no way to live my life and I can’t take no more
I been here by the riverside, I think it aint all me
Shake my head bewildered, maybe I should let it be

One more time you walked away, you left two times before
Three more shots of whiskey, I’ll be passed out on the floor
Give me 4 good reasons why you should walk away
I’ll give you 5 good promises, to make you want to stay

One more time I will concede
That I am the one to blame
I will bet a year from now
We’re more or less the same

I know that I’m like every man, who probably could improve
But steady as the river, you always disapprove
Could have done much better, Well that just isn’t true
Cause I know you were meant for me, God help me, I love you
