Terri Clark, Dierks Bentley - Golden Ring lyrics

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

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"

Golden ring, golden ring
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there, waiting there
For someone to take it home
By it'self, by it'self
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In al little wedding chapel
Later on that afternoon an old upright piano
Plays that old familiar tune

Tears roll down her cheeks
And happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low with this ring I thee wed

Golden ring, golden ring
With one tiny little stone
Shining ring, shining ring
Now at last it's found a home
By it'self, by it'self
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

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"

She says, "One thing's for certain
I don't love you anymore"
And throws down the ring
As she walks out the door

Golden ring, golden ring
With one tiny little stone
Cast aside, cast aside
Like a love that's dead and gone
By it'self, by it'self
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
