Pawn Shop
(专辑: Your Life Is A Record - 2020)
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' 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 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 end up in a
pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue
