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
