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 cafÚ 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?
