Ruby's got a brother Her brother's got a lover His lover's got another on the side Ain't nobody's business We all need forgiveness It's been laying heavy on my mind If you got a secret baby I can keep it Lock it up and swallow the key Everybody's got a little something to hide You can lay it all on me Her mama used the bible Daddy used the bottle Revival and survival made her run She's using just a little Of both here in the middle I know exactly where she's coming from If you got a secret baby I can keep it Lock it up and swallow the key Everybody's got a little something to hide You can lay it all on me Covering my tracks and sneaking on the sly It's getting hard to look my Rosie/Ruby in the eye She caught us shackin up at a dirty motel Says she's gonna send us both straight to hell It's complicated ain't it I wish I could explain it It wouldn't make no difference if I tried Ruby and her brother Say one way or another I'm running out of places I can hide If you know a secret you best know how to keep it Lock it up and swallow the key Everybody's got a little something to hide You can lay it all on me
