Nuthin's Ever Gonna Be The Same Again

(album: Deliverance - 2002)

Oh, sweet Ruby girl
Put your arms 'round my neck and ring like a bell
Meet me Rosita, kiss me Carika
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again, hey

Now look at those two just dancing there
The ordeal over in the old town square
This crisp white shirt won't sweep up the dirt
And nothin's ever gonna be the same again

Oh, sweet Ruby girl
Put your arms 'round my neck and ring like a bell
Meet me Rosita, kiss me Carika
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again, hey

Yeah, now listen to that song he's a-trying to shout
With the Cuban heel boots and his ass hanging out
A sound so ancient, so meat and potatoes, yeah
But nothin's ever gonna be the same again

Oh, sweet Ruby girl
Mama's kisses taste like caramel
Meet me Rosita, kiss me Carika
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again

Oh, nobody understands a word we're saying
If there's something crumbling like a fruitcake, sugar
Then keep drinking it, get the interpretating

If the poem's all sore you get that, learn to play guitar
Quit that phrasing and parading and get that ass outta the bar
But learn how to swing and get their hands off their things
Yeah nothin's ever gonna be the same again

No bottle of wine just don't hit me the same
Unless it softens the frame around, oh, that face
I learn how to swing and get my hands off my things, yeah
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again, sugar
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again
Nothin's ever gonna be, hey, hey

Oh, sweet Ruby girl
Mama's kisses taste like caramel
Meet me Rosita, my precious Carika
Nothin's ever gonna, hey, hey, hey

Oh, sweet Ruby girl
Put your arms 'round my neck and ring like a bell
Now my stomach's tight, and I'm as thirsty as hell
But nothin's ever gonna be the same again
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again
Nothin's ever gonna be the same again
