CAKE - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town lyrics

You've painted up your lips and rolled
And curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere?

The shadow on the wall tells me
The sun is going down
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

It wasn't me that started that
Ol' crazy Asian war but I was proud to go
And do my patriotic chore

And yes
It's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need some company

It's hard to love a man whose
Legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and the needs
Of a woman your age ruby I realize

But it won't be long, I've heard them say
Until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

She's leaving now
Cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it
Slam one hundred times before

And if I could move I'd get my
Gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town

Oh Ruby, God sakes turn around
