[Verse 1]
Standin' at that pawnshop counter
Tryin' 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
[Verse 2]
After three long years together
She found a banker man
Said she was thinkin' about 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 flyin' silver eagle
That used to be your ring
[Chorus]
I'd rather have this silver eagle
Than all that rich man's gold
It's my one reminder of
A woman turnin' cold
Her love lies in his money
And mine's in a pair of wings
On a flyin' silver eagle
That used to be your ring
Standin' at that pawnshop counter
Tryin' 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
[Verse 2]
After three long years together
She found a banker man
Said she was thinkin' about 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 flyin' silver eagle
That used to be your ring
[Chorus]
I'd rather have this silver eagle
Than all that rich man's gold
It's my one reminder of
A woman turnin' cold
Her love lies in his money
And mine's in a pair of wings
On a flyin' silver eagle
That used to be your ring
