| Yeah
 | 
| Mhmm
 | 
| And 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
 | 
| 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
 | 
| (better not panic, better not panic, better not panic)
 | 
| She’s got a face full 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 and nothing to lose
 | 
| There’s time for us to figure it out
 | 
| I’m there so don’t be scared
 |

 | 
| I’m there, I am there
 |

 | 
| All alone, rest your head on my lap when you’re down (Ruby, Ruby, Ruby
 |
