Under The Milkway
I've been crying
'Cause I'm lonely (for you)
Smiles have all turned to tears
But tears won't wash away the fears
That you're never ever gonna return
To ease the fire that within me burns
It keeps me crying baby for you
Keeps me sighin' baby for you
So won't you hurry ?
Come on boy, see about me
(Come see about me)
See about you baby
I've given up my friends just for you
My friends are gone
And you have too
No peace shall I find
Until you come back
And be mine
No matter what y
Ruby's Two Sad Daughters

When the sun hits it right on its way down it was the prettiest thing in our little town. Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the plastic frame and cracked glass 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 caf?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. Why did hope leave town with Ruby's two sad daughters?
