When he married her he told her that someday
He would take her from this little town
And the would move away
He would give her everything a girl could dream
He comes home from work every night. just to hear her say
This ain't my life
This ain't my house
Where are all those things you promised me
All the things we talked about
I should be living like a princess
In a castle way up high
Not just living day to day
Or living to get by
He looked and said I'm working hard
I just need a little time
I just bought you a brand new dryer
No more hanging clothes on the line
She laughed and then she shook her head
And then she said with a smile
This ain't my life
This ain't my house
Where are all those things you promised me
All the things we talked about
I should be living like a princess
In a castle way up high
Not just living day to day
Or living to get by
He looked and said I'm working hard
I just need a little time
I just bought you a brand new dryer
No more hanging clothes on the line
She laughed and then she shook her head
And then she said with a smile
This ain't my life
This ain't my house
Where are all those things you promised me
All the things we talked about
I should be living like a princess
In a castle way up high
Not just living day to day
Or living to get by
Living to get by
