i will leave behind all of my clothes, i wore when i was with you, all i
|
need's my railroad boots, and my leather jacket, as i say goodbye to ruby's
|
arms, although my heart is breaking, i will steal away out through your
|
blinds, for soon you will be waking.
|
|
the morning light has washed your face, and everything is turning blue now,
|
hold on to your pillow case there's nothing i can do now, as i say goodbye to
|
ruby's arms, you'll find another soldier, and i swear to god by christmas,
|
there'll be someone else to hold you.
|
|
the only thing i'm taking is the scarf off of your clothesline, i'll hurry
|
past your chest of drawers, and your broken window chimes, as i say goodbye
|
i'll say goodbye, say goodbye to ruby's arms.
|
|
i'll feel my way down the darken hall, and out into the morning, the hobos
|
at the freightyards, have kept their fires burning, so jesus christ this
|
goddamn rain, will someone put me on a train, i'll never kiss your lips again,
|
or break your heart, as i say goodbye i'll say goodbye, say goodbye to ruby's
|
arms.
