Ruby(don take you love to town) - Kenny Rogers

You painted up your lips
And rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating
Going out somewhere.
The shadow on the walls tells me
The sun is going down
Oh, Ruby
Don't take your love to town.
It wasn't me that started
That old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do
My patriotic chore
And yes it's true that I am not
The man I used to be.
Oh, Ruby
Still need some company
It's hard to love a man whose
Legs are bent and paralyzed.
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.
Like I know I've heard it slam
one hundred times before.
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
