pawn shop - susanna hoffs lyrics
[verse 1]
she pushed her wedding ring across the counter
and 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”
[chorus]
“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 would end up in a p*wn shop on charlotte avenue”
[verse 2]
he walked in with it slung over his shoulder
he said, “man, you’ll never give me a fair price
but this young*man’s town’s 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”
[chorus]
“but it ain’t stolen, it ain’t hot
someone told me it cost a lot
woman, 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 would end up in a p*wn shop on charlotte avenue”
[bridge]
dreams don’t die, even when they’re broken
tomorrow, when that sign says ‘open’
that guitar, and oh, that wedding band
will start a new dream, second*hand
[chorus]
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 would end up in a p*wn shop on charlotte avenue
