And there she goes

She was sitting really 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

And I said ruby, ruby, ruby

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 got a call from a guy just seeing if she's alright

Yeah

She's got a fistful of tears held 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 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, nothing to lose

Yeah

Yeah you've got time to figure it out

I'm here so don't be scared

You've got time to figure it out

I'm here and I am here

You've got time to figure it out

I'm here so don't be scared

You've got time to figure it out

I'm here so don't be scared

Ruby, ruby, ruby

And I said ruby, ruby, ruby

And I said ruby, ruby, ruby

And I said ruby, ruby, ruby

All alone, rest your head on my lap when you're down

All alone, rest your head on my lap, on my lap

Ruby don't cry
