Jamey Johnson - Flying Silver Eagle Lyrics

Send "Flying Silver Eagle" ringtone to your cell

Standing at that pawn shop counter

Trying 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

After three long years together

She found a banker man

She said she was thinking 'bout 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 flying silver eagle that used to be a ring

(Chorus)

I'd rather have this silver eagle

Than all that rich man's gold

It's my one reminder of

A women turning cold

Her love lies in his money

And mines in a pair of wings

On a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring

I couldn't put the past behind me

So I put it in a song

That's how I tell the story

How that women did me wrong

Now I tour across the country

Riding high on the wings

Of a flying silver eagle that used to be a ring

(Repeat Chorus)

I met a homeless man on Broadway

He was holding 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
