Ruth and Mary
|
Threw a party
|
everyone was there
|
Baby Ruth she got a new tatoo
|
and Mary braided an orchid in her hair
|
their friend had a farm
|
and in that same friend's barn
|
under the stars above
|
they said their vows
|
and there was no doubt
|
this was an everlasting love
|
and Ruth says
|
Ah, loves gotta hold on me
|
Ah, it just won't let me be
|
My brothers and my sisters
|
will you ever see
|
the truth that's shared in Ruth and Mary
|
some folks say
|
its the sinners way
|
to live and love alike
|
but they can't feel
|
this loves is real
|
they say that kind of love ain't right
|
and Mary says
|
Ah, loves gotta hold on me
|
Ah, it just won't let me be
|
My brothers and my sisters
|
will you ever see
|
the truth that's shared in Ruth and Mary
|
Ruth and Mary on the freeway
|
tunnel vision Mexico
|
windows down
|
through the border towns
|
and Ricky Lee on the radio
|
singin' it's your last chance
|
pullin' out of that last chance Texaco
|
and Ruth says
|
Ah, loves gotta hold on me
|
Ah, it just won't let me be
|
and my brothers and my sisters
|
we may never see
|
the truth that's shared in Ruth and Mary...
