Ruby And Lou

[Verse 1]
Ruby and Lou began meeting in the break room
Of a grocery store
They saved a thousand dollars and left her mother on disability
And his mother and her four other kids

[Verse 2]
They caught a ride to Spokane
And they rented out a room
Spent every day in bed
And at night they did too
See they thought they were finally free of it

[Verse 3]
Ruby and Lou took a bus to Portland
They rented out a room
In a downtown hotel
But their money started running low

[Verse 4]
Ruby met a kid named Dallas who was living on the streets
They let him use their room once when they weren't around
But Dallas found Lou's .22 and he blew his brains out
They just saw him laying there
So they took all their things and skipped out

[Verse 5]
What if the whole world is cursed?
Ruby said it might be
But since they were together she knew they weren't
They saved another thousand and left
Lou said maybe it was just the west
Ruby said it might be, so for years they just kept heading east
