Bobby's Back

Well c'mon, man, I hear that Bobby's back

from being upstate

He learned his lesson, so they say, well I guess we'll

wait and see

He's got a new corvette, he says it does a hundred

and twenty, easy

Got some catchin' up to do, some crazy score to settle

When I first heard Bobby's back, the first thing

that I thought of

Was how his chic like up and left with some guy

she just met

I don't think that he knew it yet, man it

sent a chill right through me

The only thing he ever loved just left with his last

paycheck

Bobby's back, maybe for good this time

All his life, he was the last in line

Bobby's back, maybe for good this time

All my life, he was a friend of mine

Bobby's face looked pale and thin, as if some ghost had

haunted him

When he asked me what was new, I wasn't quite

sure what to say

How come everybody's stickin' bloody fingers in my face?

I almost cried and said, "They sure don't make cars

like they use to"

Bobby's back, maybe for good this time

All his life, he was the losing kind

Bobby's back, maybe for good this time

All his life, he never had peace of mind

I shook him hard and said, "Listen, man,

you can't go back in time again"

And never 'til the day that I die

did I see tears fall from Bobby's eyes

Four or five years had gone by when I read about

how Bobby died

He crashed his car into a wall, messed up on drugs

and alcohol

Another brother led astray, well I'lll be damned

if I go that way

Say a little prayer for him

he lived a life you just can't win

Bobby's back, maybe for good this time

All his life, he was the last in line

Bobby's back, maybe for good this time

Bobby's gone, he was a friend of mine
