All Dressed Up (With Nowhere to Go) Lyrics by Reba McEntire

For My Broken Heart

1991

[Verse 1]
The sign says families welcome
At the Oaks Retirement Home
But mostly no one comes 'cept on the weekends
Ruby Wilson lives in 303
Where she spends most her time
But it's almost noon on Sunday
She's been sitting in the lobby since nine
[Chorus]
She's all dressed up
In her best hat and gloves
She's all dressed up
She's watching and waiting, but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days
Oh, and time can move so slow
When you're all dressed up
With nowhere to go
[Verse 2]
As Ruby watches all the others
Leaving with their families
The nurse tells her it's time to come to dinner
She says she's expecting company
They're just running late
But the nurse knows the truth too well
She just sighs and walks away
[Chorus]
She's all dressed up
In her best hat and gloves
She's all dressed up
She's watching and waiting, but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow
When you're all dressed up
With nowhere to go
Oh, with nowhere to go
