She pushed her wedding ring across the counter
She said tell me that it's worth more than I think
There's a bus to batonrouge leaves in an hour
And 90 dollars cash buys me a seat
That quarter carrot 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 swung 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 songs 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 or that wedding band will start a new dream
Second hand
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 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
