Cape Cod



One day, many years from now…

We’ll move to Cape Cod…

And maybe buy a cow…


We’ll by an old house…

And maybe an old truck…

We’ll open up a store…

And try to earn a buck…


The store will stay open…

When the weather is warm…

And then we’ll travel South…

To avoid the winter storm…


We’ll grow our little business…

And you can paint…

I’ll rub your back and neck…

Whenever you feel faint…


Shoes will be optional…

Maybe just shorts and a t-shirt…

You can wear a straw hat…

And maybe a grass skirt…


Whatever we decide…

Our goal will be to have fun…

We’ll come and go whenever…

Does that sound good, hun?

She’d hit up friends and strangers for Budweiser beer (“for her duck”) and Kool cigarettes (“for later”). Ruthie became the subject of documentaries and a musi...
