see ruby fall

well i knew someday

ruby would be leavin'

that she wasn't happy livin' quietly

quietly

'cause she would get the bedroom look each mornin'

and i felt ruby pull away from me

yeah

so go downtown about nine o'clock this evening

walk under that red light and down the hall

down the hall

look for the highest flyin' girl

that's ruby

and if you wait your turn you'll see ruby fall

don't let her know that you even know me

she'll be tryin' to forget it all

and don't tell me how is was tonight

tomorrow

'cause i don't want to see ruby fall

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
