# And yes, it's true that I'm not the man I used to be | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
# Oh, Ruby | 0:22:11 | 0:22:18 | |

when her grandmother died and she took the tooth | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
and she had it melted down and made into a ring | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
so I wrote this song to let her know what I thought about it. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:41 | |

# She said "Son, you can have my tooth | 0:36:06 | 0:36:10 | |
