Lyrics
Jenny put her wedding ring in the jewelry box. Been 25 years, she'd never even slipped it off. Now with the kids moved out and Billy at the plant she started up her car to meet another man. 3:30 in the afternoon when the clouds drew near. 10 minutes it was over, and the sun appeared. She'd barely gone a mile when the twister came. Sped back where the house had been, and all she could say Was there's a ring in the wreckage that held up these walls. Took it off for a second and lost it all. Furniture, designer skirts don't mean a thing, But now I've lost the power of the ring. Police car pulled up, and she asked to call the plant. Officer looked down and said "I'm sorry, ma'am. Storm tore right through there, ain't nothing left to see." Jenny stepped into the yard and fell to her knees. Said there's a ring in the wreckage that held up those walls. I took it off for a second and lost it all. If you could help me find it, sure mean a lot to me. Cause right now I need the power of the ring. They sifted through old photographs and magazines When from the corner of her eye she saw the ring. She slipped it on her finger, and when she looked up there was Billy climbing down off a firetruck. Now there's a ring on her finger that'll fix it all. A little band that's stronger than any four walls. In every life there's trouble -- it don't mean a thing long as you've got the power of the ring.
