And there she goes
She was sittin' really nice with her head filled with advice from her friends
She walks around
She tries to rearrange but everything goes under her bed
And its countless
She's got a jar full of change saved up for vacation
And she's watchin'
She's watchin' her sons growing up just like their mom
And it's hard, for her
And I said, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Gotta start liftin' your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you've gotta get out of bed, out of bed, out of bed
Yeah, She don't know what to do
She's got everything and nothing to lose
She got a call from a guy just seeing if she's alright
Yeah, She's got a face full of tears held back by the strength of five
And she says "Happiness ain't free,
Everybody fights just like me,
But I've given up the ability to retreat."
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
Gotta start liftin' your head up, head up, head up
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know its hard but you've gotta get out of bed, out of bed, out of bed
Yeah, She don't know what to do
She's got everything and nothing to lose
Yeah, Yeah you've got time to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared
Got time to figure it out
I'm here and I am here
Got time to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared
Got time to figure it out
I'm here so don't be scared
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby) x2
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
All alone
Rest your head
On my lap
When you're down
