Ruby (From Hearya session) Songtext
von Roadside Graves

Lay my head upon the juniper tree
I might be dead before they carry me
Moonlight shining on my radio
Angels signing off the midnight show
Ruby, come and look me in the face
Tell me about the man who′ll take my place
Grab my speed and try to wear my clothes
Tell your father wasn't the one you chose

So drop down, turn around, I′m coming home
Angels signing off the midnight show
Drop down, turn around, I'm coming home
Angels signing off the midnight show

It's morning now, I can barely feel my feet
Gunfire sounds just like a whistle blow
I still wear your ring around my skin
Ruby, find yourself another man


Drop down, turn around, I′m coming home
Angels signing off the midnight show
Drop down, turn around, I′m coming home
Angels signing off the midnight show

I remember the night your grandmother died
Cigarette in her hand and book by her side
You and I on the couch, just touching each other
We didn't tell a soul ′til morning after
Oh, back in high school, you let me walk you home
We kissed in the park 'til the cops came along
I hear your mama′s voice calling you home
Dinner on the table, you in my arms

Sunlight overhead and it's watching me cry
Stud on my tongue and blood in my eye
Medics carry me to the helicopter
I lost my leg, I didn′t find out 'til morning after

So drop down, turn around, I'm coming home
Angels signing off the midnight show
Drop down, turn around, I′m coming home
Angels signing off the midnight show


What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?
(What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?)
Sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die
(Sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die)
Oh, wrap your legs around the tall, tall grass
(Wrap your legs around the tall, tall grass)
Lay on your back and watch the planes fly by
(Lay on your back and watch the planes fly by)
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?
Sit on the bank and watch the crawdads die
Wrap your legs around the tall, tall grass
Lay on your back and watch the planes fly by
(What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?)
What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?
(What you gonna do when the pond goes dry?)
Oh, what you gonna do when the pond goes dry?

Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang

Jimmy was everywhere (Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang)
Jimmy was everywhere (Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang)
Jimmy was everywhere (Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang)
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy was everywhere (Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang)
Jimmy was everywhere (Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang)
Jimmy was everywhere (Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang)
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
Jimmy had a bomb and the bomb went bang
