Ruby Lyrics by Woodford Way

There & Back

2013

[Verse 1]
High up on a hill
Ruby lives like a beauty queen
Posing very still
Her every magazine
And Ruby's done it all
From 'ol Broadway to the Taj Mahal
She's never missed a step
She's never had a fall
And I don't stand a chance
When it comes to keeping up with you
And if Ruby wants to dance, it's what she's gonna do

[Chorus]
And I said Ruby, Ruby, shine your shoes
You're the headline on the front page news
You have no debts and you have no dues
So Ruby, Ruby, shine your shoes

[Verse 2]
'n me, I'll never need to know
What it's like to losе everything
I have nuttin to show
At lеast nothing interesting
And I would never run
And I would never run 'round for you
And I'm the only one here
I'd be who you're talkin' to

[Chorus]
And I said Ruby, Ruby, shine your shoes
You're the headline on the front page news
You have no debts and you have no dues
So Ruby, Ruby, shine your shoes
Come on, shine your shoes

[Verse 3]
And, Ruby, open up your eyes
And wake to find the light no longer on
And then you realize everybody's up and gone
And there's no need to cry
'n there's no need to cry for me, no, Ruby
She'll have to get by
Yeah, just like you and I

[Chorus]
And I said Ruby, Ruby, shine your shoes
You're the headline on the front page news
You have no debts and you have no dues
So Ruby, Ruby, shine your shoes (mm-hmm)
Come on, shine your shoes
