Ruth and mary

Threw a party

Everyone was there

Baby ruth she got a new tatoo

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

Will you ever see

The truth that's shared in ruth and mary

Some folks say

Its the sinners way

To live and love alike

But they can't feel

This loves 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

Will you ever see

The truth that's shared in ruth and mary

Ruth and mary 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

We may never see

The truth that's shared in ruth and mary...
