Richmond Fontaine - Ruby And Lou lyrics

Ruby and Lou began meeting int he 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 They caught a ride to Spokane and rented out a room Spent everyday in bed and at night they did too See they thought they were finally free of it Ruby and Lou took a bus to Portland They rented out a room in a downtown hotel, but their money started running low 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 blew his brains out They saw him lying there so they took all their things and skipped out 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
