Pat Green - Ruby´s Two Sad Daughters lyrics

"When the sun hits it right on its way down it was the prettiest thing
in our little town. Every hour I would
sneak a glance over at the plastic frame & cracked
glass that holds the picture of Ruby´s two sad
daughters. Last mill closed when I was nine &
Daddy left & Momma cried again, I spent my
nights cleaning Ruby´s floors, just another cafŽ on
a wind swept highway the farmers bitched, we are no
good at football anymore.

CHORUS
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 & the other couldn´t wait that long.
Neither went anywhere with me,
not to the games or the Dairy Queen.
Both split with the 1st boy who lied sweet & looked vaguely mean.

CHROUS

why so pretty & 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 is 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.
Why did hope leave town with Ruby´s two sad daughters?
