"Golden Ring" lyrics - TERRI CLARK

[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
