Lyrics
on a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring
you know it used to be a ring
I d rather have this silver eagle, and i laid the money down Flying, of a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring
On a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring, after three long years together, i met a homeless man on broadway
Standing at that pawn shop counter, i had it melted down
i counted out the twenties
Trying on the wedding rings, she said she was thinking bout her future
How that women did me wrong, said he was once a banker man
she said she was thinking bout her future
I said man i feel your pain, i had it melted down Eagle, you know it used to be a ring
She said she was thinking bout her future, now it s a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring
that s how i tell the story
now it s a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring
Now it s a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring, he asked me for a dollar
i met a homeless man on broadway
i counted out the twenties
and mines in a pair of wings
now i tour across the country
He asked me for a dollar, so i could wear in on a chain, i d rather have this silver eagle
You might could use this silver eagle, and gave me back that silver band Johnson, standing at that pawn shop counter
Repeat chorus, you know it used to be a ring, than all that rich man s gold
riding high on the wings
i counted out the twenties
Said he was once a banker man, and we went straight to the davidson courthouse, how that women did me wrong
i had it melted down
I couldn t put the past behind me so i put it in a song, trying on the wedding rings, her love lies in his money
On a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring, on a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring Johnson, she found a banker man
she found a banker man
and mines in a pair of wings
riding high on the wings
she said she was thinking bout her future
standing at that pawn shop counter
I said man i feel your pain, she said she needed silver Eagle, it s my one reminder of a women turning cold
I said man i feel your pain, he asked me for a dollar
I d rather have this silver eagle, riding high on the wings
