Текст песни Cake - Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town (Non-album t (Wheels EP 2005)

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....
