A song written when I thought perhaps I was not good enough to be called a songwriter ......................and I should stop fooling myself.


RubySlippers

It's not a country song, not sure what category it would be.


RUBY SLIPPERS

I'm takin off theses ruby slippers
I've given up on the fairy tale
I gave away my rose colored glasses
I missed the boat, I don't know where the ship is
that's why I'm takin off
these ruby slippers

The good witch of the north
went south for the winter
left me here and wouldn't take me with her
I wanted to go but I'm sure gonna miss her
when I take off
these ruby slippers

cus somewhere over the rainbow is my back yard
I know it's there

but something about those shoes
they never tell you
they can take you home
but only if you want to
click your heels say the words it won't make a difference
til you take off
those ruby slippers

Call me a fool, but I know where my home is
and you can't get there from here
I clicked my heels said the words it never made a difference
til I took off
those ruby slippers
