David Allan Coe - Loneliness in Ruby's Eyes lyrics

By 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 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
