Loneliness In Ruby`s Eyes Lyrics

By David Allan Coe



THEY SAY SHE CAME ALL THE WAY FROM DALLAS

BUT I SEE MORE THAN TEXAS IN THE HARD TIMES ON HER FACE

AND EVERY SONG SHE SINGS BRINGS BACK A HUNDRED THOUSAND MEMORIES

OF ANOTHER GIRL, ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER PLACE



SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE BODY OF THE WOMAN I ONCE LOVED

BUT SHE'S STILL THE GIRL THAT I ONCE IDOLIZED

AND, I SWEAR, I SEE A LITTLE BIT OF EVERY GIRL I'VE KNOWN

IN THE LONELINESS OF RUBY'S EYES, IN THE LONELINESS OF RUBY'S EYES



KINFOLKS SAY SHE'S HAD A LOT OF LOVERS

AND LOVE DON'T LEAVE A WOMAN FILLED WITH SHAME

AND I'VE HEARD TELL SHE HAD A CHILD IN DALLAS

AND ALL THE MEN IN HOUSTON KNOW HER NAME
