shelley skidmore - pawn shop lyrics
[verse 1]
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 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
[chorus]
“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 p+wn shop on charlotte avеnue”
[verse 2]
he walked in with it slung ovеr his shoulder
he said, “man, you’ll never give me a fair price”
“but this young man’s town is 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”
[chorus]
“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 p+wn shop on charlotte avenue”
[bridge]
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
[chorus]
“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 p+wn shop on charlotte avenue”
