(Allen Shamlin/Gary Burr)

|
I'm a man of my word
|
I mean what I say
|
My pledge is my bond
|
Well
|
that's just my way
|
When you've made a promise
|
To someone who's gone
|
Well
|
that's when forever
|
Seems a little too long
|
|
I'm a man of my word
|
And
|
I made you a vow
|
I swore that I'd love you
|
And I can't change that now
|
They tell me I'm free
|
To find someone new
|
I just don't have the heart
|
'Cause I gave mine to you
|
|
I said my love
|
Would last for all time
|
And
|
no one
|
Would take your place
|
Well if that promise
|
Was the last sound you heard
|
Well you know I kept it
|
I'm a man of my word
|
|
I'm a
|
man of my word
|
And it's cost me so dear
|
'Cause those words are a prison
|
Without
|
you here
|
And I'll go to my grave
|
With this torch held high
|
Bust just
|
once I wish
|
I had told you a lie.
|
|
Yes I'll always love you
|
I'm
|
a man of my word
|
