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

but 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 out of bed, out of bed, out of bed

yeah she doesn´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

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 out of bed, out of bed, out of bed

yeah she doesn´t know what to do
she´s got everything but nothing to lose

yeah you got time to figure it out
I´m here so don´t be scared
you´ve got time to figure it out
I´m here and I am here

yeah you got time to figure it out
I´m here so don´t be scared
you got time to figure it out
I´m here so don´t be scared

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
all alone
rest your head
on my lap
on my lap
Ruby don´t go
