Golden Ring

(album: Dust & Dirt - 2017)

Crawling around on my hands and knees
Searching for something I can't see
I regret it, and you can't forget it

I turn every blade of the sun-burnt grass
Looking for something that was supposed to last forever
Forever and ever

Walking up and down this dead end road
Reaching out for your empty hand to hold
God it feels so cold

We've both walked a lot of lonely miles
Searching for another hopeful smile to see
Even though we've tried so many things
I just don't know how we're ever gonna get that golden ring

Curse my eyes and curse my mind
I'd trade them both if I could find, the one thing
We've both been missing

While I stare holes in the stoney ground
Thinking 'bout all that can't be found
In your mind, is it moving on time?

Standing on the street where I used to live
Adding up things I ain't got to give
Does it ever end?

We've both walked a lot of lonely miles
Searching for another hopeful smile to see
Even though we've tried so many things
I just don't know how we're ever gonna get that golden ring

But you don't wanna walk no dead end road
You're reaching out with your naked hand to hold
You're saying, "Boy, let's go"

We've both walked a lot of lonely miles
Searching for another hopeful smile to see
Even though we've tried so many things
Somehow you know, we're gonna get that golden ring
