Lyrics - Bobby's Back by Setzer Brian

Well c'mon, man,
I hear that
Bobby's backfrom being upstate
He learned his lesson, so they say, well
I guess we'llwait and see
He's got a new corvette, he says it does a hundredand twenty, easy
Got some catchin' up to do, some crazy score to settle
When
I first heard
Bobby's back, the first thingthat
I thought of
Was how his chic like up and left with some guyshe just met
I don't think that he knew it yet, man itsent a chill right through me
The only thing he ever loved just left with his lastpaycheck
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 hadhaunted him
When he asked me what was new,
I wasn't quitesure what to say
How come everybody's stickin' bloody fingers in my face?
I almost cried and said, "
They sure don't make carslike they use 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 peace of mind
I shook him hard and said, "
Listen, man,you can't go back in time again"
And never 'til the day that
I diedid
I see tears fall from
Bobby's eyes
Four or five years had gone by when
I read abouthow
Bobby died
He crashed his car into a wall, messed up on drugsand alcohol
Another brother led astray, well
I'lll be damnedif
I go that way
Say a little prayer for himhe 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
