Ruby Dont Take Your Love to Town by The Killers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Verse 2]
It wasn't me that started this old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
[Verse 3]
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Verse 4]
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Outro]
Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around
You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair
Ruby are you contemplating going out somewhere?
The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Verse 2]
It wasn't me that started this old crazy Asian war
But I was proud to go and do my patriotic chore
And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be
Oh Ruby, I still need some company
[Verse 3]
It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed
And the wants and needs of a woman your age Ruby I realize
But it won't be long, I've heard them say, until I'm not around
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Verse 4]
She's leaving now cause I just heard the slamming of the door
The way I know I've heard it slam one hundred times before
And if I could move I'd get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town
[Outro]
Oh Ruby, for God's sake, turn around
