Well I knew someday, Ruby would be leaving That she wasn´t happy living quietly, quietly Сause she would get the 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 light and down the hall, down the hall Look for the highest flying 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 trying to forget it all And don´t tell me how it 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
