MAN OF MY WORD Collin Raye
Capo 4
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I m a man of my word. . . I mean what I say
My pledge is my bond. . . 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
I m a man of my word. . . And its cost me so dear
These words are a prison. . . With-out you here
And Iâll go to my grave. . . This torch held high
But just once I wish. . . Iâd told you a lie
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Yes, I ll always love you. . . I m a man of my word
[Instrumental]
