Ruby's 2 Sad Daughters

D G

When the sun hits it right on its way down

D A

It was the prettiest thing in our little town

D

Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the

G

Plastic frame and cracked glass

D A D

That holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters

Last mill closed when I was nine and Daddy left And Momma cried again

I spent my nights cleaning Ruby's floors

Just another cafe on a wind swept highway

The farmers bitched

We're no good at football anymore

In this land that knows no laughter

In this land that holds no water

We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters

One went way out west

One went way wrong

One left at seventeen and the other couldn't wait that long

Neither went anywhere with me

Not to the games or the Dairy Queen

Both split with the first boy who lied sweet And looked vaguely mean

In this land that knows no laughter

In this land that hold no water

We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters

Why so pretty and forlorn

Why so permanently blue

I guess ours wasn't much of a kingdom to rule

Now when the sun hits it right on its way down

It's still the prettiest thing in our little town

Every hour I sneak a glance over at the plastic frame

And I fix the glass that holds the picture of

Ruby's two sad daughters

D G A D

Why did hope leave town with Ruby's two sad daughters?
