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
