lyrics

"Ruby, Don't Go"
by Andrew Delaney

You got that that tattoo on your back
And another down your arm
And a few you keep hidden
Like you're savin' em for someone
You got those pretty blue eyes
And that crooked sorta smile
Ruby, don't go
Wont you stay a little while?

And you say you don't sleep
You don't think you ever will
Between your little white lines
And your Catholic guilt
But sometimes you call me over
Just to put you to bed
Ruby, don't go
Was it something that I said?

And I've been thinkin' all night
Back to those better days
Were you the one I never had
Or the one that got away
And there in the dark
I can almost see your face
And I say Ruby, don't go
But you just fade away

So you found yourself a man
And he's everything you need
He's safe and he's sane
And he ain't nothin' like me
And he's makin' that vow
To have you to hold you
Ruby, don't go
He can't love you like I do

Ruby, don't go
He can't love you like I do
