Ring On The Table - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

A cookie cutter house with a for sale sign

He takes her hand and leads her down the drive

She steps inside and he says, "open your eyes"

She starts to cry 'cause there's a ring on the table

'Cause that dress was picket fence white

And the grass was other side green

The roses were red and she said yes

To a perfect house for a cradle

And there's a ring on the table

A couple times when he had one too many

He's come on a little strong and say things he didn't mean

With a little make up, you'd never see

He was coasting through the pain

She was hoping he would change

With a baby on the way, maybe he could fight his demons with an angel

And on the glass, he left a ring on the table

'Cause that dress was picket fence white

And the grass was other side green

The roses were red and her lip bled

While she painted pink for a cradle

And there's a ring on the table

The baby was born on an October night

While he was staying warm under neon lights

Some things change but most things won't

He thought he could drive home

Her phone rings on the table

A call from the county jail

And her face went picket fence white

And the grass was covered in weeds

The roses are dead, goodbye was never said

Empty house, empty cradle

She left her ring on the table
