Pawn Shop |
She pushed her wedding ring across the counter |
And said, «Tell me that it’s worth more than I think |
There’s a bus to Baton Rouge, leaves in an hour |
And ninety dollars cash buys me a seat |
That quarter-carat picture-perfect dream |
Wasn’t all it was cracked up to be |
«But it ain’t stolen, it ain’t hot |
Someone told me it cost a lot |
Man, ain’t that the truth |
I thought I’d wear it my whole life |
It never even crossed my mind |
Back when it was new |
It’d end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue» |
He walked in with it slung over his shoulder |
He said, «Man, you’ll never give me a fair price |
But this young man’s town’s just watching me get older |
And the song’s I sing don’t feed my kids and wife |
There’s a few belt buckle scratches on the back |
And the B-string tends to fall a little flat |
«But it ain’t stolen, it ain’t hot |
Someone told me it cost a lot |
Man, ain’t that the truth |
I thought I’d play it my whole life |
It never even crossed my mind |
Back when it was new |
It’d end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue» |
Dreams don’t die, even when they’re broken |
Tomorrow, when that sign says open |
That guitar, oh, that wedding band |
Will start a new dream, second-hand |
It ain’t stolen, it ain’t hot |
Someone told me it cost a lot |
Man, ain’t that the truth |
I thought I’d own it my whole life |
It never even crossed my mind |
Back when it was new |
It’d end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue |
