Lyrics
Find another songAnd there she goes
She's sitting real nice with her 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, oh
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
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 (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
On my lap when you're down (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
All alone, rest your head on my lap (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby) when you're down
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
Ooh, Ruby, don't cry (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby) 'cause I am here, and I am here
(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby) so don't you cry, 'cause it'll be alright
