ravishing ruby

ravishing ruby

she'd been around for awhile

ravishing ruby

she was a truckstop child

born in the back of a rig somewhere near l.a. ravishing ruby

you poured a lot of hot coffee in your day

ravishing ruby

believe anything you say

just like her daddy said

said he'd be back someday

she was just fourteen

she grew up wild and free

and all the time she'd be waitin' on him

she'd been waiting on you and me

ravishing ruby

she sleeps in a bunk out back

her days and nights are filled with dreams of a man named smilin' jack

that was her daddy's name and that's all she ever knew

ravishing ruby ain't got time for guys like me and you

ravishing ruby

a beautiful young girl now

ravishing ruby

she made a solemn vow

waitin' on smilin' jack

he'll come rollin' by

and she wants to see him

she wants to touch him either way

dead or alive

ravishing ruby

she sleeps in a bunk out back

her days and nights are filled with dreams of a man named smilin' jack

that was her daddy's name and that's all she ever knew

ravishing ruby ain't got time for guys like me and you
