Well I knew someday Ruby would be leaving That she wasn't happy living quietly quietly Cause she would get that bedroom look each morning And I felt Ruby pull away from me Yeah so go downtown at nine o'clock this evening Walk under that red lights then down the hall down the hall Look for the highest flying girl that's Ruby And if you'll wait your turn you'll see Ruby fall Don't let her know that you even know me she'll be trying to forget it all And don't tell me how it was tonight tomorrow Cause I don't want to see Ruby fall [ piano - guitar ] I didn't hold her back when she got restless One man is not enough when she wants it all Yeah I let her go when I saw what she wanted Cause I don't care to see Ruby fall
