"Love and Honor" Lyrics

(Merle Haggard)

Love and honor a promise to obey
Sacred vows we both made yesterday
But when someone tempted you you ease to cross the line
And I'll bet love and honor never crossed your mind.

You're the woman you once gave your hand
And I'm the fool who tries to understand
Why when someone tempted you you were so inclined
And I'll bet love and honor never crossed your mind.

Love and honor never crossed your mind
Love and honor is something hard to find
Now when someone needed you you ease to cross the line
And I'll bet love and honor never crossed your mind.

--- Instrumental ---

Love and honor never crossed your mind
Love and honor is something hard to find
Now when someone tempted you you ease to cross the line
And I'll bet love and honor never crossed your mind.

I'll bet love and honor never crossed your mind...
