Indigo Girls Making Promises lyrics

What am I gonna do with you?
So far away, it makes me blue
I never mind just being alone
But I felt defeated and I let it show

You know I could have ridden the rainbow
And this once I needed you to let me know

I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I'm of two hearts and up all night
I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I'm gonna get it right this time

Who's gonna say you paid your dues?
With the strung out soundman and the promoter dude
With a pat on the back just a little far down
You cut your teeth on a drinking crown

Ah, never mind you didn't make it
What's the point if your never gonna shake it?

I couldn't keep myself from making promises

I'm of two hearts and up all night
I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I'm gonna get it right this time

Now when the spring is coming around
And I'm feeling braver, I'm gonna lay it down
And when the teenage hoodlums come out
I'm gonna give 'em a smile and just a little doubt

Ah, never mind we didn't make it
Oh, what's the point for if we never gonna
If we never gonna shake it?

I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I couldn't keep myself from making promises
I couldn't keep myself from making promises

I couldn't keep
