I Pawned My Past Today

(Roger Miller)



Ten dollars for my wedding band that's all the man would pay

But then I slipped it from my hand I pawned my past today

Not long ago we said goobye and went our separate ways

Ten dollars for a love gone by I pawned my past today.



--- Instrumental ---



With this ring goes memories of happy yesterdays

So if I cry excuse me please I pawned my past today

To me true love is life itself guess I'll just waste away

No love no life there's nothing left I pawned my past today...
