Golden Ring

[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
