Brian Setzer Orchestra – Bobby's Back lyrics

Won't ya 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
He's got some catching up to do some crazy score to settle
When I first heard that Bobby's back the first thing that I thought of
Was how his chick 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 sticking bloody fingers in my face
I almost cried and said they sure don't make cars like they used 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 piece of mind

I shook him hard and said listen man you can't go back in time again
And never till the day 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 smashed his cars into a wall messed up on drugs on alcohol
Another brother lead astray well I'll be damned if I'll go that way
Just 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
