[Verse]
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 at nine o'clock this evening
Walk under that red light, then 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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Piano Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
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
