The Ring

To a preacher It's a token To a family It's a name To a coward It's a threat to run away To a lawyer It's a contract To a soldier It's a date To a rich man It's just another thing he pays To a child It's a game To a queen It's her crown To a woman It's a thing she needs now But to me It's a promise A lifetime or two A symbol of me being with you And I'll be damned if I take it off It doesn't come loose A ring is nothing more than me and you And you know that it's true To a fireman It's a calling To a singer It's a stage To a coach It's another trophy game To a gambler It's a poker hand To a judge It's a case To a hound dog It's something that he chases To a pitcher It's a mound To a fighter It's a ring To a woman It's a thing she needs now But to me It's a promise A lifetime or two A symbol of me being with you And I'll be damned if I take it off It doesn't come loose A ring is nothing more than me and you And you know that it's true To a boxer It's a knockout To a tourist It's a ride To a wrestler It's where he makes his name To a woman It's a thing she needs now But to me It's a promise A lifetime or two A symbol of me being with you And I'll be damned if I take it off It doesn't come loose A ring is nothing more than me and you And you know that it's true And you know that it's true
