Bobby Jean

Well, I came by your house the other day

Your mother said you went away

She said there was nothing I could've done

There was nothing nobody could say

Now, me and you, we've known each other

Ever since we were sixteen

I wish I would have known, I wished I could have called you

Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean

Now, you hung with me when all the others

Turned away, turned up their nose

We liked the same music, we liked the same bands

We liked the same clothes

Yeah, we told each other that we were the wildest

The wildest things we'd ever seen

I wished you would have told me, I wish I could have talked to you

Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean

Now, we went walking in the rain

Talking about the pain that from the world we hid

Now, there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow

Ever gonna understand me the way you did

Well, maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere

In some bus or train, traveling alone

In some motel room, there'll be a radio playing

And you'll hear me sing this song

If you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you

And all the miles in between

I'm just calling one last time not to change your mind

Just to say I miss you, baby, good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
