"Can't Promise You The World" lyrics

"Can't Promise You The World"

Keep running
Keep hiding
I'll find you
Wherever you may be

I lost it
You found it
Give it back to me
Give it back to me

Seven years ago
I figured to myself
I couldn't turn around
I wouldn't make myself

But when I looked about
Lying in my face
Lying on the floor
I found my saving grace

I can't promise you the world no more
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to

Little Johnny Jewel
Is running from the cops
He said he'd never stay
He said he'd never stop

But coming 'round the bend

He saw his life again
He couldn't see it
Or believe it

I can't promise you the world no more
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to

Keep running
Keep hiding
I'll find you
Wherever you may be

I lost it
You found it
Give it back to me
Give it back to me

I can't promise you the world no more
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to
I can't promise you the world no more
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to
I can't promise you the world no more
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to
I can't promise you the world no more
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to
Never thought that I could or I'd ever have to
