Ruth and Mary Threw a party 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 Will you ever see The truth that's shared in Ruth and Mary Some folks say It's 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.
