Song Lyrics

Cheap Little Ring

album: True Unity (2006), track 10 of 13
author: Chuck Pyle
publisher: Bee 'n' Flower Music BMI

I was fine from
Davenport to Omaha
I couldn't seem to worry about a thing
But that empty stretch of road
east of Ogallala
Got me thinking 'bout
your cheap little ring
I cried all the way to Utah
You taught me how to cry
By the time I got to Utah
Utah had a big blue sky
 CHORUS
   Why, tell me, why
   Couldn't you and I just be
   That way we used to be
   Why, tell me, why
   Couldn't we see eye-to-eye
   I guess it just wasn't meant to be
Everything I own's in a U-haul
Well almost everything
Your cheap little ring's back in Ogallala
I pawned it for some gasoline
 CHORUS
All I own's behind me in a U-haul
Well almost everything
Your cheap little ring's back in Ogallala
I pawned it for some gasoline
By the way that little ring
Bought me some gasoline
At the Flying J in Ogallala-la-la-la
Ogallala-la-la
