Loretta Lynn
Ruby, Madge and Mable
Sometimes true love has to choose to do what it don't want to do
Sometimes patience has to give up hanging on
Darling, I'll be far away and you'll be wishing I had stayed
After Ruby, Madge, and Mable send you home

After Ruby settles down and Madge moves back to her hometown
After Mable says, "You fool, leave me alone"
You'll find out how much it hurts and just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby, Madge, and Mable send you home

You'll find out what lonely means, but you won't find the broken chains
That once bound our love together proud and strong
You'll start talking to the walls and count every tear that falls
After Ruby, Madge, and Mable send you home

After Ruby settles down and Madge moves back to her hometown
After Mable says, "You fool, leave me alone"
You'll find out how much it hurts and just how much a dream is worth
After Ruby, Madge, and Mable send you home
