 C                                 F
Well I knew someday Ruby would be leavin'
          G                        C        G
That she wasn't happy livin' quietly, quietly
        C                                   F
Cause she would get that bedroom look each mornin'
    D                           G
And I felt Ruby pull away from me, yeah

Yeah, so go downtown at nine o'clock this evening
Walk under that red light and 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:
 F                                 C
Don't let her know that you even know me
                              G
She'll be tryin' to forget it all
           C                            F
And don't tell me how it was tonight tomorrow
      G                         C
Cause I don't want to see Ruby fall

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
