Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives - Life Has Its Little Ups and Downs lyrics

Don't know how to tell her I didn't get that raise in pay today And I know how much she wanted The dress in Baker's window It breaks my heart to see her have to wait And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate But I can count on her to take it With a smile and not a frown She knows that life has its little ups and downs Like ponies on a merry-ground And no one grabs the bra** ring every time But she don't mind She wears a gold ring on her finger And it's mine New house plans we've had so long I guess will gather dust another year And the daffodils are blooming That she planted way last fall upon the hill And over by the gate Lord knows I hate to say again we'll have to wait But you can bet she'll just take it With a smile and not a frown She knows that life has its little ups and downs Like ponies on a merry-go-round And no one grabs the bra** ring every time But she don't mind Oh baby don't mind She wears a gold ring on her finger I'm so glad that it's mine She wears a gold ring on her finger And I'm so glad that it's mine
