[Verse 1] There's a diamond ring in that old pawn shop Down on Central ave where the tourist folk walk One day I'm gonna stroll right in with a lot of cash Step right up to the counter woman Lay every dollar in my hand Say I need that big ole ring for my lass [Hook] Well penny, nickel, quarter, dime I think about her all the time [Chorus] She's got a mortgage on my brain No diamond ring could match her worth No shiny stone down in the earth All the riches of the world would be in vain She's got big hands and deep brown eyes Her eyebrows dance when she lies to me I actually let her think she's fooling me she sweet like Buc-ee's nuggets Somehow I'm the one she loves I still do find it hard to believe [Verse 2] I told her all I eat is McDonalds She said, you need to eat whataburger or Burger King Well ain't it cute how she gona gain weight with me Now she makes me take my addipex Says, I just don't want you to die with out me, Guess she wants me to be as lonely as she [Bridge] Sometimes she gets off cold like winter But on my mind I stick right with her even when shes being a B 'Cause every other day she's sweet like hrer ice coffee She feeds me Buc-ee's and hides my candy wish she'd sing along to them songs I wrote She kills every flower I bring home She gets pissy when I make bad jokes She forgives me when I pull her close She makes a poor boy feel like a king [Verse 3] If she keeps it up I'll be bound to work Sweat all through my Sunday shirt Till I got enough money for that diamond ring Now there's an empty case in that jewlery shop Where the tourist folk walk Yesterday I strolled in with a wad of cash Walked right up to the counter man Laid down every dollar in his hand I got that big old ring for my little lass [Chorus] She's got a mortgage on my brain No diamond ring could match her worth No shiny stone down in the earth All the riches of the world would be in vain She's got big hands and deep brown eyes Her eyebrows dance when she lies to me I actually let her think she's fooling me She's sweet like buc-ee's nuggets Somehow I'm the one she loves I still do find it hard to believe [Final Verse] Well penny, nickel, quarter, dime I saved them up a long, long time Every little coin became a promise I couldn't keep Now that ring is on her hand And she finally understands A poor boy's love can run wonderfully deep [Final Chorus] Well penny, nickel, quarter, dime I think about her all the time She's got a mortgage on my brain No diamond ring could match her worth No shiny stone down in the earth All the riches of the world would be in vain She's got big hands and deep brown eyes Her eyebrows dance when she lies to me I actually let her think she's fooling me She's sweet like Buc-ee's nuggets Somehow I'm the one she loves And now I know exactly why [Outro] That big old ring for my lass That big old ring for my lass She makes a poor boy feel like a king
