i will leave behind all of my clothes i wore when i was with you all i need s my railroad boots and my leather jacket as i say goodbye to ruby s arms although my heart is breaking i will steal away out through your blinds soon you will be waking morning light has washed your face and everything is turning blue hold on to your pillow case there s nothing that i can do as i say goodbye to ruby s arms you ll find another soldier and i swear to god by christmas time there ll be someone else to hold you the only thing i m taking is the scarf off of your clothes i ll hurry past your chest of drawers and your broken wind chimes as i say goodbye i ll say goodbye i ll say goodbye to ruby s arms i will steal away down the darken hall out into the morning the hobos at the freightyards have kept their fires burning so jesus christ this goddamn rain will someone put me on a train and i ll never kiss your lips again or break your heart as i say goodbye i say goodbye say goodbye to ruby s arms
