And there she goes

She's sittin' real nice with a head full of advice from friends

And 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 watchin'

She's watchin' her sons growin' up just like their mom

And it's hard for her

And I said, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

You gotta start liftin' your head up, head up, head up

And I said, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

I know it's hard, but you get 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 seein' if she's all right

She's got a face full of tears out 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"

And I said, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

You gotta start liftin' your head up, head up, head up

And I said, Ruby, Ruby, Ruby

I know it's hard, but you get get outta bed, outta bed, outta bed

Yeah, she don't know what to do

She's got everything and nothing to lose

Yeah, and it's time for us to figure it out

I'm here, so don't be scared

It's time for us to figure it out

Don't be, don't be scared (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

All alone (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

Rest your head on my lap (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

When you're tired

All alone (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

Rest your head on my lap (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

When you're down, yeah, yeah, yeah (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby)

(Ruby, Ruby, Ruby) Ruby, don't cry (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby) 'cause I am near

And I am here (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby), so, don't you cry

'Cause it'll be all right
