Lyrics
RUBY JEAN (Copyrighted)
Ruby Jean was a ten by the age of 16 we could tell
Her uncle was the mayor and her Auntie owned the big hotel
All the boys would come to town
They?d wash their trucks and they?d drive around
They all hoped to get a date - Whooh!
With Ruby Jean
She?d come to town every summer at the end of school
She?d smirk and roll her pretty eyes as her uncle laid down the rules
After lunch she?d lay out there by the pool
Me and the boys thought we were so cool
Peeking through the fence to glimpse
Ruby Jean
CHORUS
Ruby Jean she?d lie there in the sunshine tannin?
Ruby Jean the devil only knows the flames you?re fannin?
Ruby do you know what you?re doin? to these small town boys (Her Auntie?d say)
Ruby do you know what you?re doin? to these small town boys
(Lead)
Years have come and gone now, since the days when we were teens
The mayor died and Auntie took ill
Left it all to Ruby Jean
Last night at the high school reunion
Ten years had come and gone
All the boys were reminiscing
Some were lyin? and some were wishin?
About the days when we were young
And I said boys - remember how we all never had a snowball?s chance in hell -
Oh well - please meet my wife - she owns the big hotel - Whooh!
[Chorus]
Ruby Jean she?d lie there in the sunshine tannin?
Ruby Jean the devil only knows the flames you?re fannin?
Ruby do you know what you?re doin? to these small town boys
Oh Ruby do you know what you did to this small town boy
