JAMEY JOHNSON lyrics : "Flyin' Silver Eagle"

Standing at that pawn shop counter,
Trying on the wedding rings.
She said she needed silver cause gold just turns her green.

So I counted out the twenty's and I layed the money down.
And we went straight to the Davidson courthouse.


After three long years together she found a banker man.
Said she was thinking about her future and gave me back silver band.
I had it melted down, so I could wear it on chain.

Now it's a flyin' silver eagle that used be ring.

(Chorus)

I'd rather have this silver eagle than all that rich man's gold.
Cause it's my one reminder of a woman turning.
Her love lies in his money.

Mine's in a pair of wings
Of a flyin' siver 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 of how that woman done me wrong.

Now I tour across the country
Riding high on the wings
Of a flyin' silver eagle that used to be a ring.


(Chorus)
I'd rather have this silver eagle than all that rich man's gold.

Cause it's my one reminder of a woman turning.
Her love lies in his money.
Mine's in a pair of wings

Of a flyin' siver eagle that used to be a ring.



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.
