Ruby Shoes Lyrics

Born in 91, all her dad wanted was a son

The kindest soul you'll ever meet, but to her family was incomplete

Leaves at age 18, by now she dreams of movie screens

But for now, she'll have to wait

She works three jobs just to pay the rent

Those flashing lights, so far away

That beaming smile, wanes day by day

But somehow, she still believes

She'll be the best the world has seen

Calls home once a week, to let her parents know she exists

She hasn't seen them in seven years

Could be forever, they wouldn't care

Each Friday night, puts ABBA on

Dancing Queen, her favourite song

And once again, starts to believe

She'll be the best the world has seen

Girl, put on your ruby shoes

And smile as you're dancing for a world that doesn't deserve you

Pull through, and move like you used to

Someday your luck will change

And you'll get the good life that has been long overdue

Oh Ruby Shoes, your time is soon

Oh Ruby Shoes, we love you

Girl, put on your ruby shoes

And smile as you're dancing for a world that doesn't deserve you

Pull through, and move like you used to

Someday your luck will change

And you'll get the good life that has been long overdue

Oh Ruby Shoes, your time is soon

Oh Ruby Shoes, we love you
