  1. Promise really something people kept
     Not just something they would say
     And then forget
  2. Tears are running
     They're all running down your breast
  3. I got a letterman sweater
     With the letter in front
     I got for football and track
  4. Fat cat came to play
     Now you can't run fast enough
     You'd best stay away
     When the push has come to shove
  5. And those of us with ravaged faces
     Lacking in the social graces
     Desparately remained at home
     Inventing lovers on the phone
  6. Grandma used to sing
     Grandma used to sing
     Every night, when she was praying
  7. This time tomorrow
     Reckon where I'll be
     Hadn't a been for Greyson
     I'da been in Tennessee
  8. Oh, woman, oh, woman, don't treat me so mean
     You're the meanest old woman that I've ever seen
  9. And I breathed in
     And there was smoke in my lungs
     And there was fire in my brain

  Because I forgot to put smileys on my tantrum? They were supposed to be understood. Here we go...

  Well I'm doomed for the night.

  Ever since I read the first line in #1 I can't get "Sting" out of my head.

  It will be "Fields of Gold" for me tonight

  I never made promises lightly
  And there have been some that I've broken
  But I swear in the days still left
  We'll walk in fields of gold

  Mac, I don't have to say it... you know you're right. :) Now, gimmie #2. I put so few lyrics because it's so well-known.

  AuntieJane, you go, girl! Your prize is a big ol' smooch from little ol' me!

  Tears are running
  They're all running down your breast
  And your friends, baby
  They treat you like a pest
  Don't you want somebody to love
  etc, etc, etc
