Loneliness In Ruby's Eyes Lyrics - 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 

Kin folks say she's had a lot of lovers 

But 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 

She does not have the body 

In the loneliness of Ruby's eyes in the loneliness of Ruby's eyes 

In the loneliness of Ruby's eyes
