Volatility Radio - Bobby’s Back

Well 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
Got some catchin’ up to do, some crazy score to settle

When I first heard Bobby’s back, the first thing that I thought of
Was how his chic 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 stickin’ bloody fingers in my face?
I almost cried and said, “They sure don’t make cars like 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 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 crashed his car into a wall, messed up on drugs and alcohol
Another brother led astray, well I’ll be damned if I go that way
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

Honorable mention: Whoever gave Setzer his mullet. So 80’s. And so cool.
