lyrics

TAKE HER TO THE PROMISED LAND (BREEN/THOMPSON)

There’s a light down the hallway maybe she’s still up
workin’ graveyard shift can take the romance out of love

She knows I’m trying to get ahead by working overtime
But still that don’t make up for all the lonely hours at night

I tell her that I love her but words don’t mean much
So, tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it up

CHORUS
Take her to the promised land
Show her what love can do
Take her to the promised land
Tonight our dreams will come true

There’s a car in the driveway that barely got me home
Stack of bills on the table for things we still don’t own
broken door in the kitchen I said I’d fix last week
sometimes I got to ask myself what she sees in me

But there’s a light down the hallway maybe she’s still up
So, tonight I’m gonna find a way to make it up

CHORUS
Take her to the promised land
Show her what love can do
Take her to the promised land
Tonight our dreams will come true

CHORUS
Take her to the promised land
Show her what love can do
Take her to the promised land
Tonight our dreams will come true
