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
