lyrics

Rawdog Ruby
-Scartocci, Roach-

Sometimes I feel
The whole world has gone crazy
Except for me
And if you choose not to believe me
Let me tell you what I found
Way down on Guadalupe Street

I said nasty girl excuse me
How could someone like you shake me to my core?
She said, "You can call me Ruby,
And if you wanna mind my business
Here's more than what you bargained for"

She said, "I don't need no money
I got all I need down here on the drag
And why put the work in, honey
When what they won't give me for free
I can surely snag"

I said that sure sounds intriguing
But how do I know you won't rob me blind?
And then she planted one kiss on me
And fellas believe, please believe
It brought me peace of mind

Rawdog Ruby-
You can doubt me if you will
I could love you truly
You're the only thing that's real

Now I've always been a strong man
And temptation's never come with filth nor sleaze
It wasn't ratty clothes or matted hair that got me
It was that sweet, sweet strange
That brought me down upon my knees

Such a Rawdog
Straight from the pound dog
Such a Rawdog
Straight from the pound dog

She was gone very next morning
Guess her goodbye note was just a used syringe
I should have known there'd be no warning
But the thought of losing something real
Had me come unhinged

Rawdog Ruby-
It can't be true although I weep
The truth is far more gloomy
You only dream if you can sleep

-Ruby
