Lyrics

RUBY

Oh, I met a jewel on the north side of a southbound town in Texas
I marked it on the map on my wall, just put your finger where the X is. And I still remember the day that I met her
Appreciating the fact she was shorter than me,
I knew I?d never forget her

Ruby you know that I love you and I always will

Oh, I was a child in a school of Tigers
At least that?s what everybody thought who played on the team
My high school spirit reminds me of the outfits that you would wear
And how your mama?d get mad every time you tore a seam

Ruby you know that I love you and I always will
Ruby you know that I love you and I always will

Chorus: Oh, Ruby though it?s so wrong, God it?s been so long
But I know that I promised that I?d write you a song

Well, here it is?

God, it doesn?t seem like anywhere near a decade
It?s funny how when you put your nose to the grindstone
You don?t notice how time just fades
The reunion committee wasted a stamp on me
Cause who knows if I?ll go
Spent my whole life being footloose and fancy free, so
If it just so happens that I don?t show,

Ruby you know that I love you and I always will
Ruby you know that I love you and I always will

Chorus: Oh, Ruby it?s been so long, I finally wrote you this song
Cause I told you and I promised, I?d never do you wrong

Ruby you know that I love you and I always will
Ruby you know that I love you and I always will
Ruby, oh Ruby, oh Ruby, you know that I love you

Ruby you know that I love you and I always will?.
