| A song about divorce, and about the time and the place where something originally valued far beyond its material worth -- that is, the ring in question -- becomes just another piece of jewelry... just somethin' else to pawn. Another sad story. - Steve H. |
1. I'm sittin'
here wonderin' how much I can get / for one used wedding ring
It's all that's
left but some promises / and those ain't worth a thing
I don't need
it around / so I'm going downtown / to the first pawnshop I can found
'Cause
somewhere between / "I do" and forever / honey, you changed your mind.
chorus:
Somewhere between / "I do" and forever / the hard times got too hard
I guess instead
/ we should've said / "'til life do us part"
It was you
and me for eternity / once upon a time
But somewhere
between / "I do" and forever / honey, you changed your mind.
2. I'm sittin'
here wonderin' how you never know / what the future's gonna bring
Who'd have
ever thought out of all that love / I'd wind up with a beat-up ring
Now it's only
a cold / band of gold / since the love got left behind
Yeah, somewhere
between / "I do" and forever / honey, you changed your mind.
repeat chorus.
| "One Used
Wedding Ring" appears on the Steve Haggard
