Ruby

Yeah
Hmm

And there she goes
She was sitting really nice with a head full of advice from friends
She walks around
She tries to rearrange but everything goes under her bed

And it's countless
She's got a jar full of change saved up for vacation
And she's watching
She's watching her sons growing up just like their mom
And it's hard for her

And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you gotta get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah, she don't know what to do
She's got everything and nothing to lose

She's got a call from a guy just seeing if she's alright
(Better not panic, better not panic, better not panic)
She's got a face full of tears held back by the strength of five, hmm
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
You gotta start lifting your head up, head up, head up
And I said Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
I know it's hard but you gotta get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah, she don't know what to do
She's got everything and nothing to lose
Oh, oh

Yeah, there's time for us to figure it out
I'm there so don't be scared
There's time for us to figure it out
Don't be, don't be scared

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
All alone, rest your head
On my lap when you're down
All alone, rest your head
On my lap when you're down
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Oh
Ruby don't cry
'Cause I am here, and I am here
So don't you cry
'Cause it'll be alright
