Shelley Skidmore – Pawn Shop Lyrics
Artist: Shelley Skidmore
Song: Pawn Shop
She pushed her wedding ring across the counter
She said, “Tell me that it’s worth more than I think”
“There’s a bus to Baton Rouge, leaves in an hour”
“And ninety dollars cash buys me a seat”
That quarter-carat picture-perfect dream
Wasn’t all it was cracked up to be
“But it ain’t stolen
It ain’t hot
Someone told me it cost a lot
Man, ain’t that the truth
I thought I’d wear it my whole life
It never even crossed my mind
Back when it was new
It’d end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avеnue”
He walked in with it slung ovеr his shoulder
He said, “Man, you’ll never give me a fair price”
“But this young man’s town is just watching me get older”
“And the songs I sing don’t feed my kids and wife”
“There’s a few belt buckle scratches on the back”
“And the B-string tends to fall a little flat”
“But it ain’t stolen
It ain’t hot
Someone told me it cost a lot
Man, ain’t that the truth
I thought I’d play it my whole life
It never even crossed my mind
Back when it was new
It’d end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue”
Dreams don’t die even when they’re broken
Tomorrow when that sign says open
That guitar or that wedding band
Will start a new dream
Second-hand
“It ain’t stolen
It ain’t hot
Someone told me it cost a lot
Man, ain’t that the truth
I thought I’d own it my whole life
It never even crossed my mind
Back when it was new
It’d end up in a pawn shop on Charlotte Avenue”
