Ruby's Song

Way out in the country where I used to live Lordy Lordy what I wouldn't give
To turn back the time and be a boy again and see the sun come up every morning
A quarter of a mile to the grocery store schoolbus came within a mile off my door
And here in distance of a cotton gin a thirty minute walk to Ruby
Oh I'd walk it in the moonlight oh I'd walk it on the dark night
Rain or shine this heart of mine craved Ruby's company
Oh she could kiss me just right oh but I was a little too shy
For I got the nerve to make my move Ruby got away from me
[ guitar ]
Oh I'd walk it in the moonlight...
