That Little Old Vow

This is another song that popped out for me because I heard a song on the stereo that was just a little too soft to make out clearly, and this one popped up in its place. In this instance it was Buzz Busby's "Reno Bound" that got the ball rolling.

spring 2004

Now Billy called to say, since the game got called tonight
Maybe later this week you two could get a bite
I'm putting two and two together as you're walking through the door
Talking nonsense giving me play by plays
Now darling what's the score

Lately you've been saying got a lot on your mind
You just need a little space, you just need a little time
Well hon if you've been thinking while you've been two-timing me
You could have you're cake and eat it too well I ain't Sara Lee

That little old vow
Says you will abide with me and your heart you'll tie to me
Never ever lie to me
Through thick and thin we'll get along somehow
That little old vow
Don't mean nothing now

Now here com the apologies my my here come the tears
Next up a few confessions what a burden all these years
I'm not getting any happier as this evening's wearing on
But I'll feel a whole lot better when I get good and gone

That little old vow
Says you will abide with me and your heart you'll tie to me
Never ever lie to me
Through thick and thin we'll get along somehow
That little old vow
Don't mean nothing now
