REBA MCENTIRE - All Dressed Up (With Nowhere To Go) lyrics

(Lisa Palas, Biff Fink, Ira Rogers)

The sign says, "families welcome"

At the Oaks Retirement Home

But mostly, no one comes 'cept on the weekends

Ruby Wilson lives in 303

Where she spends most her time

But it's almost noon on Sunday

And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine

Chorus:

She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves

She's all dressed up

Watching and waiting, but nobody comes

Some days sure are lonely days

And time can move so slow

When you're all dressed up

With nowhere to go

As Ruby watches all the others

Leaving with their families

The nurse tells her, it's time to come to dinner

She says she's expecting company

They're just running late

But, the nurse knows the truth too well

She just sighs and walks away

Repeat Chorus
