Lyrics:

By David Allan Coe

they Say She Came All The Way From Dallas
but I See More Than Texas In The Hard Times On Her Face
and Every Song She Sings Brings Back A Hundred Thousand Memories
of Another Girl, Another Time, Another Place

she Does Not Have The Body Of The Woman I Once Loved
but She's Still The Girl That I Once Idolized
and, I Swear, I See A Little Bit Of Every Girl I've Known
in The Loneliness Of Ruby's Eyes, In The Loneliness Of Ruby's Eyes

kinfolks Say She's Had A Lot Of Lovers
and Love Don't Leave A Woman Filled With Shame
and I've Heard Tell She Had A Child In Dallas
and All The Men In Houston Know Her Name
