Promise Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker

Harmony gets melody
Orchestra gets symphony
Continents get seven seas.....
Boy gets girl and all you got was me and a promise
I'll try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear

Where we could grow into a circle
Big enough to understand everyone
We'd be the first....we'd be the only ones
In the Galaxy
To really be free

Lovers get I'm sorry
Music gets to keep the key
Children get to ride for free
Mind and body...that's all you've got of me
And a promise
I'll try to be honest
I'd like to give you nothing to fear

Repeat Chorus

Where we can grow into a circle
Big enough to understand everyone
We'd be the first....we'd be the only ones
In the Galaxy to really be free

I promise
