I promised that I'd meet you at the station
I promised that I won't see Marie
I promised baby
I didn't guaran-damn-tee
I promised that I'd call you in the morning
But I couldn't find a phone in Tennessee
I promised baby
I didn't guaran-damn-tee
I'll guaran-damn-tee you that I'll love you
I'll guaran-damn-tee you that I'll care
I'll guaran-damn-tee that when you need me baby
I'll do my damnedest to be there
Now I'm a little ragged round the edges
And promises aren't meant for you and me
I promised baby
I didn't guaran-damn-tee
I'll guaran-damn-tee you that I'll love you
I'll guaran-damn-tee you that I'll care
I'll guaran-damn-tee that when you need me baby
I'll do my damnedest to be there
I'm not a man who's very special
But I'll be yours 'til 2093
I won't promise baby
I'm going to guaran-damn-tee
