[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
