Versuri Jamey Johnson Flying Silver Eagle

Standing at that pawn shop counter 
Trying on the wedding rings 
She said she needed silver 
'Cause gold just turns her green 
I counted out the twenties 
And i laid the money down 
And we went straight to the Davidson courthouse 
After three long years together 
She found a banker man 
She said she was thinking 'bout her future 
And gave me back that silver band 
I had it melted down  
So i could wear in on a chain 
Now it's a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring 
 
(Chorus) 
I'd rather have this silver eagle 
Than all that rich man's gold 
It's my one reminder of 
A women turning cold  
Her love lies in his money 
And mines in a pair of wings 
On a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring 
 
I couldn't put the past behind me 
so i put it in a song 
That's how I tell the story 
How that women did me wrong 
Now I tour across the country  
Riding high on the wings 
Of a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring 
 
(Repeat Chorus) 
 
I met a homeless man on Broadway 
He was holding out his hand 
He asked me for a dollar 
Said he was once a banker man 
'Til that lady took his money 
I said man I feel your pain 
You might could use this silver eagle  
You know it used to be a ring
