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...
