Oh Ruby, don't take your love to town You've painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hair Ruby, are you contemplating going out somewhere? The shadow on the wall tell me the sun is going down Oh, Ruby, don't take your love to town It

New York at night Empire high Its got me coming alive Baby you're like That Uptown something Girl you're like a model on a Soho street Walking on air like you own it That electric energy Something tells me you're gonna keep me going til the morning light

Oh, my my, that's just the way we do it Cut off Levi's and kickin' country music Miles from nowhere, there ain't no city limits And that's where you're gonna find us havin' a small town big time Hangin' out at the old park pool Right after Sunday school

You're my painkiller You take it away Oh you take it away A little dose of you goes a long long way La la la la la la la You're my (la la la) painkiller (ooh ooh) Don't need no whiskey When I've had a bad day

Oh oh oh oh, in your town In your town I feel a little less lonely right away Something in the air intoxicates And even though the streets are filled with pain There's a part of me that always wants to stay And time stays frozen, all seems golden now

Oh won't you lay my bags A town of disrespect The trains are wrecked The night is younger then us Nowhere is anywhere else You keep to yourself Stirring the dregs where I have laid The exit signs are flashing Dead ends they won't come to life anymore I
