Texty: Brian Setzer. Bobby's Back.

Well, come on

Won't ya come on, man
I hear that Bobby's back for me, 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, 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 it sent a 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 me shut up
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 never tell the day I die
That I see tears 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 damned if I go that way
Just say a little prayer for him
He lived a life to just get away

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
