Ruby It happened on the fourth of July, I was the other guy, later I listened more closely to the words of the song and knew I'd done wrong but at that time I didn't follow the lines, and I didn't know of the sadness that lived within the words of the rhyme. "It wasn't me that started that ole crazy Asian war but I was more than proud to go and do my patriotic chore and if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground, Ruby, don't take your love to town." You see, to me I was happy she was mine, to me Ruby was just another sexy woman looking to have a good time. JamesLee 9April 2014 |
