Man Of My Word - Collin Raye

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

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

When 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

Yes I’ll always love you, I’m a man of my word
