Golden Ring (feat. Dierks Bentley)

In a pawn shop in Chicago

On a sunny summer day

A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display

She smiles and nods her head

As he says, "Honey, that's for you

It's not much but it's the best that I can do"

Golden ring

Golden ring

With one tiny, little stone

Waiting there

Waiting there

For someone to take it home

By itself

By itself

It's just a cold, metallic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a little wedding chapel

Later on that afternoon

An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune

Tears roll down her cheeks

And happy thoughts run through her head

As he whispers low, "With this ring, I thee wed"

Golden ring

Golden ring

With one tiny little stone

Shining ring

Shining ring

Now at last it's found a home

By itself

By itself

It's just a cold, metallic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a small two-room apartment

As they fight their final round

He says, "You won't admit it but I know you're leavin' town"

She says, "One thing's for certain

I don't love you anymore"

And throws down the ring as she walks out the door

Golden ring

Golden ring

With one tiny little stone

Cast aside

Cast aside

Like a love that's dead and gone

By itself

By itself

It's just a cold, metallic thing

Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a pawn shop in Chicago

On a sunny summer day

A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
