JAMEY JOHNSON lyrics : "Flyin' Silver Eagle"
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.
