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"
This song is from the album "Eggshells".
