lyrics

I picked you from the airport
Been so long since you’ve been here
But I always love to have you home my dear
You jump into the front seat
And you look down at my hand
You start to cry and I don’t understand
You said “Where’s your wedding ring”
And the tears they fill your eyes
“Dad what’s happening? Why isn’t mom here?”
Let me tell you a story

Back when we got married and I was only 19
Had a gold ring that your mother bought for me
But then one day it shattered
When I was working in the mill
The pieces gone, never to rebuild
When I told your mom that night
The tears they filled my eyes I said “I’m so sorry”
But your mother grabbed a pen
And drew on me a wedding band

Back when you were little and I had that accident
The car crash where I nearly lost my friend
My left side started swelling
They cut the ring right off my hand
And I laid there in that hospital bed
When your mom came in that night
The tears they filled her eyes she said “I’m so sorry”
And then she grabbed a pen
And drew on me a wedding band

Now to last October I was fishing with my friends
In a cabin that we rented near Moorhead
After a couple hours I look down at my hand
The ring gone and we searched but couldn’t find it
As I drove back home that night
The tears they filled my eyes
I was so sorry but I just walked in with a pen
Said “draw on me my wedding band”

Well now I got this new ring on a chain around my neck
Hopefully I will not lose it again
Your mom is at home cooking your favorite meal for us
So let’s get going
