Brian Setzer Orchestra - Bobby's Back lyrics

rate me

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
