I woke up this mornin - My day was doin fine
Then somebody calls me - It's Suzy on the line
All night she been lonely - Been cry'n in her coffee
You ain't been a man to her and I know the reason why

CHORUS
Ruby Red is back in town - Ruby Red is back in town

I'm walkin thru the city - When a man comes up to me
He said, "if you want it, I'll get it for a fee"
My senses're reelin - Can't shake this funky feelin
The hold she has on this here place is drivin me insane

CHRS
No, Ruby Red is back in town

The radio is playin - I guess they got the word
It's written on the faces - Of ev'ryone who heard
She's out of control - Gath'rin her gold
This crazy world we're livin in is goin goin goin down!

CHRS (repeat)
