D G
When the sun hits it right on its way down
D A
It was the prettiest thing in our little town
D
Every hour I'd sneak a glance over at the
G
Plastic frame and cracked glass
D A D
That holds the picture of Ruby's two sad daughters
D G
Last mill closed when I was nine and Daddy left
And Momma cried again
D A
I spent my nights cleaning Ruby's floors
D G
Just another cafˇ on a wind swept highway
D
The farmers bitched
A
We're no good at football anymore
G D
In this land that knows no laughter
Bm A
In this land that holds no water
D G A D
We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters
D
One went way out west
G
One went way wrong
D A
One left at seventeen and the other couldn't wait that long
D
Neither went anywhere with me
G
Not to the games or the Dairy Queen
D A
Both split with the first boy who lied sweet
And looked vaguely mean
G D
In this land that knows no laughter
Bm A
In this land that hold no water
D G A D
We were all in love with Ruby's two sad daughters
Bm A
Why so pretty and forlorn
Bm A
Why so permanently blue
D G A D
I guess ours wasn't much of a kingdom to rule
D G
Now when the sun hits it right on its way down
D A
It's still the prettiest thing in our little town
D G
Every hour I sneak a glance over at the plastic frame
D
And I fix the glass that holds the picture of
A D
Ruby's two sad daughters
D G A D
Why did hope leave town with Ruby's two sad daughters?
