Bobby's Back

Well come on.......
Won't ya come on man I hear that Bobby's back for me from 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 120 and he says
He's got some catchin' up to do
Some crazy scores to settle
When I first heard Bobby's back
The first thing that I though of
Was how his cheap life up and left with some guy she just met
I don't think that I knew again
Man did that chill right through him
The only thing he ever loved just left with his life's paycheck
Bobby's back
Baby for good this time
All his life
He was the last in line
Bobby's back
Baby for good this time
All my life
He was a friend of mine
Bobby's face looked pale and thin
As if some ghost kept holding him
When he asked my what was new
I wasn't quite sure what to say
How can everybody stick their bloody fingers in my face
I almost cried and said my shutup
Baby cause I'd been used to
Bobby's back
Baby for good this time
All his life
He was a losing kind
Bobby's back
Baby for good this time
All his life
Never had peace of mind

I shook him hard said listen man
You can't go back in time again
I'll never tell the day I die
That I see two fall down Bobby's eyes
Four or five years had gone by when I read about how Bobbie died
He smashed his car into a wall
Messed up on drugs and alcohol
Another brother met a stray
Well I'll be damnd if I go that way
Just say a little prayer for him
He lived a life of just can
Bobby's back
Baby for good this time
All his life
He was the last in line
Bobby's back
Baby for good this time
Bobby's gone
He was a friend of mine
