Ruth Mary Lyrics - Eggshells - Shawn Mullins

Ruth & Mary, they threw a party 

And everyone was there 

Baby Ruth, she got a new tattoo 

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 we've got to see 

The truth that's shared in Ruth & Mary" 

Now some folks say it's the sinners way 

To live and love alike 

But they can't feel this love 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 when will we ever see 

The truth that's shared in Ruth & Mary" 

Ruth & Mary, they're 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 will we ever see 

The truth that's shared in Ruth & Mary" 

"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 & Mary"
