Golden Ring(Album Version) - George Jones

In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
She smiles n' 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 rings
Golden ring
With one tiny little stone
Waiting there
Waiting there
For someone to take you home
By itself
By itself
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a 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 itself
By itself
It's just a cold metallic thing
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
Ooo ooo
In a small two room apartment
As they fought their final round
He says You won't admit it
But I know you're leavin' town
She says One thing's for certain
I don't love you any more
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 the 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
In a pawn shop in Chicago
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display
Golden ring
