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
