Sturgill Simpson has released another new video for his cover tune "The Promise" that was originally made famous by When In Rome. As you know, I'm a huge fan of Sturgill, who is originally from Jackson, Kentucky...then made his way up to Versailles, Ky, on over to Utah before heading to Nashville. Be sure to grab a copy of "Metamodern Sounds of Country Music" as well as "High Top Mountain."
Lyrics to The Promise as performed by Sturgill Simpson
If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end, I'll always be there
But when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around, and I'll be there
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
I promise, I promise you I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no gripe to bear
