Bobby

Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read

as they lead him from the court room a young voice turned hishead

a little boy dressed in blue was standing at the rail

he said i hope they kill you i hope you go to hell. well theylocked

Bobby in a jail with fourty other men they all knew what he haddone

they were glad to let him in they'd all read the headlines aboutBobby

and his wife how they loved each other and how he took her life

and day after day he sat alone night after night they'd hear himsing his

song -chorus- he'd sing baby i'll take care of you i'll never letyou down no

harm will ever come to you as long as i'm around I am not afraidof what

people say of do the only thing I fear is being here withoutyou

Well the little boy dressed in blue grew up to be a man

and when he fell in love himself he came to understand how itwas

when Bobby took the life they both adored cause he couldn't standto

see her suffer anymore, he took out the papers from a trunkbeneath

his bed and all the years just disappeared as through his tearshe

read the stories of the accident that robbed his mommas mind

the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line,

and the one about the man who sits alone year after year singinghis

song -repeat chorus- the young man drove his car and parkedoutside

the gate they lead him to a cold gray room the gaurd told him towait

and when the gaurd brought Bobby in the young man finally knew

he still missed his momma but he missed his daddy too

and when the gaurd left the two of them alone he took Bobby in

his arms and the young man sang his song he sang Daddy i'll

take care of you i'll never let you down no harm will ever cometo

you as long as i'm around you have taught me not to fear what

people say or do and the only thing that hurts is being herewithout

you
