Lyrics
RING AROUND HER FINGER
Verse 1:
Yeah, we were raised on a backwoods county line
Beneath the tallest fields and tobacco yellow skies
And all the love we found was never lost again
Pre-Chorus:
It's been sixteen years since then
Still she don't seem to mind me acting like a kid
But when she hears the old church bells..
Chorus 1:
She wants a ring around her finger and a wedding in July
Summer's coming fast and I keep asking for more time
I got some wild oats to sow; I got some wild nights before my days are done
Verse 2:
She was the talk of town; the bell of all the dances
And the queen who crowned me 'king of second chances'
And all the love we found, it was never lost again
Pre-Chorus:
So what's the rush my dear?
Yeah, one day I'll help you raise those children well
But not 'til I'm finished raisin' hell
Chorus 2:
She wants a ring around her finger and a wedding in July
Summer is coming fast and I keep asking for more time
I got some wild oats to sow; I got some wild nights before my days are done
She wants a ring around her finger and she tells me every night
I said 'Baby, just be patient. One day I'll make you mine."
If you let me live a little before I settle down
Yeah let me live a little before I settle down
