New West - I'm Not Bound To Leave lyrics

It wasn't till the rice was thrown

And they both drove away

That I thought about the broken hearts

That started out this way

Some will stand and take the vow

But never see it through

Missing out on a bond of love

Like I have found with you

I'm bound by a promise

I'm bound by this ring

I'm bound to continue

Loving you through everything

I'm even bound to hurt you

But still I believe

In you I've found a good thing

That I'm not bound to leave

Love can be a lot of work

But that's the way it grows

And through the years of give and take

I'm still hoping that you know

That I'm bound by a promise...
