| All Dressed Up (With Nowhere To Go) |
| Lisa Palas/Biff Fink/Ira Rogers |
| 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 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 |
