Joe & Ruth from Lurlene by Worn-Tin

Mornin Kids, Won’t you gather around
For a tale that you’ll never forget
About a boy name Joe and a girl name Ruth
Who were dancing along the edge of town
They had lots of friends, they had good ol families
They had lots Strings on the back of their hands
But… most importantly they had to agree
That they weren’t the only ones getting around now
Because you and me will disagree but then
Every night sleep in the same bed
It's all a splash at your feet, you never bother to read
And you… you’re gonna mess around

Now there I was with my girl she’s star
We would drink “drink” like the Kerosene man
And then they’d gather round and they'd settle down
Tear the roof off burn the cards and burn the sheets
There was toxic mud, they had bedazzled jeans
filling the days with some lady dressin up her dog
And if you wanted to see, you wouldn’t happen to be
oh my little light of mine, Shining all through the night ( through the night… yea... f**k it )
You and I will oblige but hold our breathes to the edge of town
And if you wanted to see theres no more people to meet
theres just Joe… and a girl name Ruth
