Break And Keep Lyrics

Jim Boyd Break And Keep

White man comes in the door with more gifts and he says and he says and he says
I’ve got a map that will get you anywhere you want to go
But I know
but I know
but I know
he folds and unfolds and folds and unfolds
and folds and unfolds
the truth

And he can keep and break the promises he made to me
but he can’t keep and break me
And he can keep and break the promises he made to me
but he can’t keep and break me


White woman walks in the door with more gifts
And she says
And she says
And she says
You can have my photo and you can take it anywhere you want to go
But I know but I know but I know
She touches and retouches
She touches and retouches
She touches and retouches
The truth

And she can keep and break the promises she made to me
but she can’t keep and break me
And she can keep and break the promises she made to me
but she can’t keep and break me
