作词 : Burr, Shamblin
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
But  just  once ,I  wish
I  had  told  you  a  lie.
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
