All Dressed Up (With Nowhere To Go) Lyrics

The sign says, "Families welcome" At the Oaks Retirement Home But mostly, no one comes 'Cept on the weekends
Ruby Wilson lives in 303 Where she spends most her time But it's almost noon on Sunday And she's been sitting in the lobby since nine
She's all dressed up in her best Hat and gloves She's all dressed up She's watching and waiting but nobody comes
Some days sure are lonely days And time can move so slow When you're all dressed up With nowhere to go
As Ruby watches all the others Leaving with their families The nurse tells her It's time to come to dinner
She says, she's expecting company They're just running late But the nurse knows the truth too well She just sighs and walks away
She's all dressed up in her best hat and gloves She's all dressed up Watching and waiting but nobody comes Some days sure are lonely days
And time can move so slow When you're all dressed up With nowhere to go With nowhere to go
