Ruby said you getting us in a world of hurt Down below the Mason-Dumbass line the food gets worse I can't go back to Tennessee That NASCAR country's not for me Go on if you think you mustCarlos packed his drums up in the dark of night Ruby standing just outside the front porch light Chain smoking camel straights The sky off to the east got grey And he rolled off in a cloud of dustIn a grey colt nickered at the gate, she said, "You're right it's getting late You and me got work to do We can't be burning daylight tooShe took down the long lead rope And stayed off that slippery slope Now Aspen trees were turning gold up top The talk was buzzing round the beauty shopWasn't he barely half her age Well that's just how they do nowadays We should have all been so luckyBy spring she had the run of the free born men Ruby turned 50 in a sheep camp tent Her body still could rock all night But her heart was closed and locked up tightPotato fields all muddy and brown The gossip long since quieted down After one more Coggins test Pouring coffee for the county vetPictures on the ice box door Carlos in the first gulf war Black eyed brown and youthful face Smiling back from a Saudi baseThen Carlos on the big bay mare Heavier now and longer haired Looking past the saddle shed From way on back inside his headAnd the ol' vet said one day Rub that colt will break an egg in you Now and then one comes along You just can't ride and he went on homeAnd the storm door didn't catch And blew back hard as she struck a match But she cupped it just in time And she sent that ashtray flyingAnd holding back the flood It just don't do no good You can't unclench your teeth To howl the way you should So you curl your lips around The taste of tears and the hollow sound That no one owns but you No one owns but youCarlos took the road gig And he saw it through He rode the tour bus While the singer flewManaged out of Music Row, Carlos never saw the studio The session guys had that all sewn upHe looked out the window And it starts to sleet Laying on a friends couch on Nevada street Lately he's been staying high Sick all winter and don't know why They don't know why or won't say They don't talk much down on the V.AAnd Ruby's in his thoughts some times What thoughts can get out past the wine He feels her fingers on his brow And right then he misses how How she looked in that grey morning lightShe never shaved like they all do now He sees it all behind his eyes And his hands go searching but they come up dryHalf way in that waking dream Carlos let's the land line ringHe'd never guess it was Ruby calling A pin in her hip from the grey colt falling Figure eights and a lazy loop Stumbled on that slippery slopeHolding back the flood It just don't do no good You can't unclench your teeth To howl the way you should So you curl your lips around The taste of tears and the hallow sound And no one owns but you No one owns but you
