And I'll love you 'til the day I die
I wouldn't listen though you told me dear
I couldn't see the lie
But if I close my eyes
A sight for country boy to see
Now I'm all alone with all my lies
I'll never make you cry
Another is burnin' out like me
I promised that I'd never be untrue
And I'll love you 'til the day I die
Who don't know treasure from stone
Was to love you 'til the day I die
The green rollin' hills where I was born
They built this prison just for fools like me
I wish I'd never seen those city lights
I swore I'd never hurt you, then I did
For every one that you see shinin' bright
I can almost hear you call me back to then
But all the same I still love you tonight
No, I won't ever see your face again
I killed a man now I won't ever see
The only promise that I didn't break
