Pawnshop Wedding Rings
Derailers · Reverb Deluxe [2000]
Broken vows from lovers who gave up
But you can count on me, to be yours faithfully
And stand beside you when push comes to shove
And these pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love
I couldn't give you a ring that's new
But I can give you a ring of truth
And a love that won't grow old
Shining like that band of gold
Put your hand in mine
And everything will work out fine
Together I know, we can rise above
And these pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love
I imagine on our wedding day
When we stand in front of the preacher and say
"We'll be together 'til death do us part
And give those rings a brand new start
Pawnshop wedding rings
So many shattered dreams
Broken vows from lovers who gave up
These pawnshop wedding rings are gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love
They're gonna learn about love
