Welcome to Music Friday when we bring you great songs with jewelry, gemstones or precious metals in the title or lyrics. Today, we welcome the Bart Crow Band to our blog, as they perform a foot-tapping country sing-along titled "Wear My Ring."
Tagged as one of the most dynamic acts on the Texas/Red Dirt scene, the Bart Crow Band has been topping the Texas Country charts since 2005 with a straightforward, honest brand of music that often has a "common working man" theme and witty lyrics.
Although the Austin, Texas-based band has been on a long and steady road to stardom, one reviewer noted that it was "Wear My Ring" that put the Bart Crow Band on the map. The single was rooted in the Texas Music Chart's Top 15 for more than 20 weeks and, even today, Texas DJs refer to "Wear My Ring" as "the song that just won't go away."
Bart Crow is the band's front man, lead vocalist, writer and guitarist. The other band members are Paul Russell on lead guitar, Matt Slagle on bass, David Fralin on keyboards and Jay Warren on drums. The band is constantly on the road and performs more than 200 shows each year.
In the video below, the Bart Crow Band performs live at Hank's Texas Grill in McKinney, TX, in 2007. The lyrics are below if you'd like to sing along.
"Wear My Ring"
Written by Bart Crow. Performed by the Bart Crow Band.
Said you wanna stand there,
With your arms around me...
But I can't feel you...
It's kinda like a dream...
Then you walk out with another...
Lord my jaw hits the floor...
It's kinda like a dream...
Said little angel with the bottle...
I don't love you anymore...
Yeah I spent some time out with the devil,
Oh but you don't hurt me anymore...
Yeah I waste my time...
And I waste my money...
On a broken dream...
'Cause you wouldn't wear my ring...
Baby give me back my ring...
One day you'll look back...
Baby when you're all alone...
Just wonderin' to yourself...
Just where in the hell did I have gone...
And I'll be down the road
Like a thousand times before...
And you'll be sittin' home...
With your jaw on the floor...
Said little angel with the bottle...
I don't love you anymore...
Yeah I spent some time out with the devil,
Oh but you don't hurt me anymore...
Yeah I waste my time...
And I waste my money...
On a broken dream...
'Cause you wouldn't wear my ring...
Baby give me back my ring...
Said little angel with the bottle...
I don't love you anymore...
Yeah I spent some time out with the devil,
Oh but you don't hurt me anymore...
Said little angel with the bottle...
I don't love you anymore...
Yeah I spent some time out with the devil,
Oh but you don't hurt me anymore...
