Letra de Flying Silver Eagle

[Verso 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

[Verso 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

[Coro]
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

[Verso 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

[Coro]
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

[Verso 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
