Charlie Farley The Ring Lyrics
The Ring by Charlie Farley
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus 3]
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
Well there's a ring of rocks on the hill that I got from the creek
