Title: "Noose or Wedding Band"
Verse 1:
I saw you standin' there, sweetheart, with diamonds in your eyes
A vision of beauty, but a heart full of lies
You said you loved me, honey, but I know it ain't true
You're promised to another, a wealthy man, with a future anew
Chorus:
Well, I know you couldn't love me
'Cause you're promised to a wealthy man
Take a look, what are you seein'?
Is that a noose or a wedding band?
Verse 2:
Your daddy's got connections, and a bank account to spare
But I've got nothin' but my heart, and this ol' guitar to share
I know I ain't no millionaire, but I love you more than gold
But you're trapped in a world of luxury, with a love that's growin' cold
Chorus:
Well, I know you couldn't love me
'Cause you're promised to a wealthy man
Take a look, what are you seein'?
Is that a noose or a wedding band?
Bridge:
I'll ride these country roads, with the wind in my hair
Freedom's my companion, but your memory's still there
I'll strum this six-string, and sing these sad, sad songs
Hopin' someday you'll hear 'em, and know where you belong
Chorus:
Well, I know you couldn't love me
'Cause you're promised to a wealthy man
Take a look, what are you seein'?
Is that a noose or a wedding band?
Outro:
Now I'm walkin' away, with tears in my eyes
Leavin' you to your mansion, and your wealthy surprise
But I'll always wonder, sweet darlin', what could've been
If you'd chosen love over luxury, and a heart that beats within.
