Rust on My Wedding Ring

[Verse 1]
Sun crawled up
Through a busted blind
Coffee gone cold
Like that heart of mine
Your side of the bed
Still dents that spring
Dust on your Bible
Rust on my wedding ring

[Chorus]
You took the light
Left me the bills
Took all the color
Left me these pills
I talk to your picture
Like you might answer me
Rust on my wedding ring
Shine gone off of me (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
Your dress still hangs
On that bent-up nail
Smells like June rain
And cheap red ale
I pace this floor
Till my heels both sting
Broken screen door slammin'
Time does the strangest things

[Chorus]
You took the light
Left me the bills
Took all the color
Left me these pills
I talk to your picture
Like you might answer me
Rust on my wedding ring
Shine gone off of me

[Bridge]
Preacher said "son
Love's a holy thing"
But he ain't seen whiskey
Fight a golden band
If the good Lord's listenin'
Hear this poor fool sing
Trade my crooked future
For one clean
Shining ring (hey!)

[Chorus]
You took the light
Left me the bills
Took all the color
Left me these pills
I talk to your picture
Like you might answer me
Rust on my wedding ring
Rust where your hand should be

[Outro]
[Harmonica moans
Guitar riff dragging behind the beat till it fades]
