Released in 1976, “Golden Ring” is a classic country duet by George Jones and Tammy Wynette.

Johnny Cash once said, “When people ask me who my favorite country singer is, I say, ‘You mean besides George Jones?’” He achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his best-known song “He Stopped Loving Her Today”, as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing. For the last two decades of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer. The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname “The Possum.”

Golden Ring Lyrics

In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
She smiles an’ nods her head as he says, “Honey, that’s for you
It’s not much, but it’s the best that I can do”
Golden rings with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Waiting there for someone to take you home
(Waiting there)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a little wedding chapel later on that afternoon
An old upright piano plays that old familiar tune
Tears roll down her cheeks and happy thoughts run through her head
As he whispers low, “With this ring, I thee wed”
Golden rings with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Shining ring now at last it’s found a home
(Shining ring)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a small two room apartment as they fought their final round
He says, “You won’t admit it, but I know you’re leavin’ town”
She says, “One thing’s for certain, I don’t love you any more”
And throws down the ring as she walks out the door
Golden ring with one tiny little stone
(Golden ring)
Cast aside like the love that’s dead and gone
(Cast aside)
By itself, it’s just a cold metallic thing
(By itself)
Only love can make a golden wedding ring
In a pawn shop in Chicago on a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings there on display
Golden ring

You Don’t Love Me Anymore Lyrics

Song by Eddie Rabbitt

It’d be a lie to say that I’m not gonna miss you
So don’t say goodbye now till I’ve kissed you one more time
And held you like I did when you where mine
It’d be a lie to say I don’t still love you
I won’t be thinking of you girl I never try to call you one more time
Or try to find a way to change your mind
Ooh, you don’t love me anymore oh baby
You don’t love me any more baby please forgive me
But the wines gone to my head
And tomorrow I’ll remember when you turned to me and said
It’d be a lie to say that I still love you

That I’m thinking of you boy or drive by to say hello sometime
Oh but now you’re gone and all I have is five words on my mind
You don’t love me anymore oh baby
You don’t love me any more baby please forgive me
But the wines gone to my head
And tomorrow I’ll remember when you turned to me and said
Ooh, you don’t love me anymore oh baby
You don’t love me any more I’ll have to face it
Ooh, you don’t love me anymore oh baby
You don’t love me any more honey it hurts so bad
Ooh, you don’t love me anymore oh baby
You don’t love me any more my tears are falling

I Love a Rainy Night Lyrics

Song by Eddie Rabbitt

Well, I love a rainy night
I love a rainy night
I love to hear the thunder
Watch the lightnin’ when it lights up the skies
You know it makes me feel good

You Were Always on My Mind Lyrics

Song by Willie Nelson

Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I’m sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
Tell me
Tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died
And give me
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
I’ll keep you satisfied
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Feels So Right Lyrics

Song by Alabama

Whisper to me softly
Breathe words upon my skin
No one’s near and listening
So please don’t say goodbye
Just hold me close and love me
Press your lips to mine
Mmm feels so right, feels so right

Lying here beside you
I hear the echoes of your sighs
Promise me you’ll stay with me
And keep me warm tonight
So hold me close and love me
Give my heart a smile
Mmm feels so right, feels so right

Your body feels so gentle
And my passion rises high
You’re loving me so easy
Your wish is my command
Just hold me close and love me
Tell me it won’t end
Mmm feels so right, feels so right

Feels so right

Ah, you feel so right baby

With eyes that look like heaven
Lips like cherry wine
That girl can sure enough make my little light shine
I get a funny feelin’ up and down my spine

We’re gonna search and find that preacher man

Then I’ll be singin’

Time Has Made a Change in Me Lyrics

Time has made a change
Since my childhood days
Many of my friends have gone away
Some I never more in this life will see
Time has made a change in me

Time has made a change in the old home place
Time has made a change in each smiling face
And I know my friends can plainly see
That time has made a change in me

In my childhood days I was well and strong
I could climb the hill sides all day long
I am not today what I used to be
‘Cause time has made a change in me

When I reach my home in that land somewhere
With my friends who wait to
Meet me over there
Free from pain and care I’ll forever be
Since time has made a change in m

New San Antonio Rose Lyrics

Song by Johnny Cash

Deep within my heart lies a melody
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
Deep within my heart lies a melody,
A song of old San Antone
Where in dreams I live with a memory
Beneath the stars all alone
It was there I found beside the Alamo
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
A moonlit pass that only she would know
Still hears my broken song of love
Moon in all your splendor know only my heart
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
Speak once again of my love, my own.
Broken song, empty words I know
Still live in my heart all alone
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone

The Roots of My Raising Lyrics

Song by Merle Haggard and The Strangers

I left the four lane highway took a blacktop seven miles
Down by the old country school I went to as a child
Two miles down a gravel road I could see the proud old home
A tribute to a way of life that’s almost come and gone.

The roots of my raising run deep
I come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down
I sink the roots of my raising run deep.

I pulled into the driveway Lord it sure was good to be there
And through the open door I could see that dad was asleep in his favorite chair
In his hand was a picture of mom and I remembered how close they were
So I just turned away I didn’t want to wake him spoil his dreams of her.

A christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did
Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids
Dad a quiet man who’s gentle voice was seldom heard
Who could borrow money at the bank simply on his word.

The roots of my raisin’ run deep
I come back for the strength that I need
And hope comes no matter how far down
I sink the roots of my raising run deep.

The roots of my raisin’ run deep…
