JAMEY JOHNSON lyrics : "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


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


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 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
