Ring On Her Finger, Time On Her Hands — текст песни (Lee Greenwood)

She stood before God, her family & friends
& vowed that she`d never love anyone else again, only me
As pure as her gown of white, she stood by my side
& promised that she`d love me till the day she died
Lord, please forgive her, even though she lied
`Cause you`re the only one who knows just how hard she tried

CHORUS:
She had a ring on her finger & time on her hands
The woman in her needed the warmth of a man
The gold turned cold in her wedding band
It`s just a ring on your finger when there`s time on your hands

When I add up all the countless nights she cried herself to sleep
& all the broken promises I somehow failed to keep, I can`t blame her
I`m the one who left her too many times alone
In a 3-bedroom prison, she tried to make a home
Her love slowly died, but the fire inside still burned
& the arms of a stranger was the only place left to turn

(chorus x2)
