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
About 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
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
