The Ring - Charlie Farley

Well there’s a ring of rocks on the hill that I got from the creek

Me and dad, we hold 'em up here in his old Jeep

We put a few logs in that he cut from the hardwood tree

Put diesel on it, light it up and talk around that fire for hours

I went from a kid to a young man

Hangin' with the boys throwin' back them blue cans

We fought each other and became friends too

Yeah these memories they linger like smoke in a room

There’s a ring where we stayed up all those nights

Telling stories 'bout the times we had

The good, the bad and all the in between

There’s a ring where I drank my first cold beer

Baby it was all those years ago

But hey you know, it still means everything

There’s a ring

She was out of my league or at least that’s why I’d think

Ain’t no way a girl like her would like a guy like me

Luckily I was wrong but I still tell her she’s blind

I don’t know how I got her but I thank God she’s mine

We started out as kids that wouldn’t let go

Now we’ve got a couple of kids that make this house home

Everything I am is what’s on her left hand

If you wanna know how this boy became a man

There’s a ring, the one that we picked out

And it’s still shinin' right now

The way it did the day she said I do to me

There’s a ring, where I placed it on her hand

Swore I’d always be her man

From here on out, for all the world to see

There’s a ring

Now as I look around this place

There ain’t an empty space

And daddy’s here, it’s great

The kids have kids of their own

It’s hard to believe they’re grown

Hah, how time flies

And as a tear starts to come to my eyes, I’m filled with pride

'Cause I realize, just how lucky I am

It ain’t hard to understand

Naw, just take a look around

There’s a ring, all the way from young to old

Seems like everyone we know is here

It’s fifty years, our friends and family

There’s a ring, man it’s what life’s all about

Keeps this whole world spinnin' 'round

And years from now, it’ll still mean everything

There’s a ring

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na-na-na-na-na

There’s a ring

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na-na-na-na-na

There’s a ring
