Golden Ring

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Terri Clark] In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings There on display [Verse 2: Dierks Bentley] 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" [Chorus: Both] 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 [Verse 3: Terri Clark] In al little wedding chapel Later on that afternoon An old upright piano Plays that old familiar tune [Verse 4: Dierks Bentley] Tears roll down her cheeks And happy thoughts run through her head As he whispers low With this ring I thee wed [Chorus: Both] 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 [Verse 5: Terri Clark] In a small two-room apartment As they fight their final round He says "you won't admit it But I know you're leaving town" [Verse 6: Dierks Bentley] She says, "One thing's for certain I don't love you anymore" And throws down the ring As she walks out the door [Chorus: Both] 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 [Tag: Both] In a pawn shop in Chicago On a sunny summer day A couple gazes at the wedding rings There on display
