Flying Silver Eagle Lyrics - Dollar - Jamey Johnson

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
