When You Loved Him

Intro 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 C Did he sweep you off your feet last night Did you plan out who he would be C Now you're just a laugh in his coffee shop story How could you do this to me C When I promised forever and you said I Do I guess that didn't mean a thing G 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 Chorus (strum once slowly) Yeah last night when you loved him God I hope you took off your ring
