50 Dollar Wedding Ring Tempo 85

V1:

We were young and dumb when I bought that ring,
I was still learning all the simple things,
Worked my fingers to the bone so you could, go to school

You got your education, but didn’t like my situation
all I got, were two wore out calloused hands,
I hammer nails all day, and I cut stone,

you strut around with your Guccis on
And stare at me like I ain’t worth a damn

Chorus:

You took the couch, table, rocking chair,
microwave oven and the silverware, cat, dog, high def TV
And all you left, for me, was your 50 dollar wedding ring,

V2:

Sure, I’m a little sad, thinking bout what I had.
But I can always replace everything I lost

I’ll just take this ring, trade it for a few George Straight Cd’s
And I’ll grab a case of cold beer on my way home

I ain’t mad at you, you see, I hope you find the man of your dreams
Maybe some joker with a PHD

Chorus:

Bridge:

I can get another dog, I never liked to smell that cat
I’ll find a simple country girl, at least I’ll know where she’s at.

Chorus:
