Flying Silver Eagle

歌詞

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
