about

This is a song I wrote about my Grandma Ruby. She was a very strong and resilient woman who continues to inspire me.

lyrics

Just 23, leaving home
The world is big she's ready to roam
from Oklahoma to the coast

She'll Send a picture to let 'em know
How she's doin' in California
What's she doin' in California?

Oh Ruby
You said goodbye
Oh Ruby
It's time to fly
Oh Ruby (x2)

A secretary on the base
a woman strong and full of grace
she made her home in Monterey

and met a man he was just a boy
and overwhelmed her with his joy
but he had a secret pain

Oh Ruby
Where's your home?
Oh Ruby
On your own
Oh Ruby (x2)

With a family and anchors deep
a husband she's not meant to keep
and she won't roam the way she planned

but with a smile to light the room
she'll stand tall despite the gloom
and show the world she'll never fall

Oh Ruby...
