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
