When You Loved Him Lyrics

Intro G D C G C G D C G
Didn't have much money back then but I saved up everything
Hitched a ride into town one evening and I bought you a ring
It didn't shine like diamonds but god it meant a lot to me
I was so proud when you said yes when I got down on my knee
You should know by now that news travels fast In this one story town
I overheard a conversation one day as I was settin down
In the coffee shop well the tales grow tall sometimes they're true
I heard a man describin' this woman It sounded a lot like you
He said her husband was gone all last week on a cattle run to Santa Fe
Now he had to lay low for awhile He's comin home today
And he went on to laugh about this cheap ol ring she wore
I heard my world crumblin in my ears Then I walked out the door
Did he sweep you off your feet last night Did you plan out who he would
be
Now you're just a laugh in his coffee shop story How could you do this to
me
When I promised forever and you said I Do I guess that didn't mean a
thing
So last night when you loved him God I hope you took off your ring
We wander through this life searchin for something strong
We build our house on trust and love and pray that nothing goes wrong
I'm takin off my ring tonight to show you how I feel
The next time you go makin those promises Make a few that are real
G(strum once slowly)
Yeah last night when you loved him God I hope you took off your ring
