My Wedding Ring Lyrics

You ask me how long I've been drinkin'
And livin' this honky tonk life
Well listen girls I'll tell you my story
I'm a mother that was once a happy wife
I'm a girl just like so many others
Neither good nor bad, maybe a girl like you
And just think but for the grace of God in heaven
It could have in your heart stop of broke in two
I'm a girl that's left without a future
And the baby boy that has his daddy's name
And the baby looks just like his daddy
But another woman wears my wedding ring

I'm a girl that's left without a future

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
