Dallas Davidson - Flying Silver Eagle lyrics

[Verse 1] Standin' at that pawn shop 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 [Verse 3] I couldn't put the past behind me So I put it in a song That's how I tell the story How that woman did me wrong Now I toured across the country Ridin' high on the wings Of 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 [Verse 4] I met a homeless man on Broadway He was holdin' out his hand He asked me for a dollar Said he was once a banker man 'Til that lady took his money I said man I feel your pain You might could use this silver eagle You know it used to be a ring
