Bobby

Over twenty years ago, we were just a couple teens

I was hanging with your sister, caught up in the scenes

We never really spoke until twenty-twenty-six

When you walked out of that cell, trying to get things fixed

I didn't want to fall, didn't want to drop my guard

But I looked into your eyes and I fell so fast and hard

Oh, Bobby, I'm holding on to what we had

Through the sweet and the funny, the good and the bad

But now you're beginning to change, and the distance is growing wide

I'm scared we won't make it to the other side

I'm terrified of losing us, tearing at the seams

But I still love you, more than my own dreams

You can be so kind-hearted when you really want to be

A tender, gentle man who means the world to me

But I know where your heart goes when the morning light is breaking

Down to the water, for the peace that you are taking

You love fishing more than anything else in this world

I just cast out my heart, hoping to be your only girl

Oh, Bobby, I'm holding on to what we had

Through the sweet and the funny, the good and the bad

But now you're beginning to change, and the distance is growing wide

I'm scared we won't make it to the other side

I'm terrified of losing us, tearing at the seams

But I still love you, more than my own dreams

Now the water's getting muddy, and the lines are getting crossed

I'm standing on the shoreline, wondering what we lost

I know that girl isn't your niece, no matter what you swear

So I just hope she's worth it, and the heavy pain I bear

Oh, Bobby, I'm holding on to what we had

Through the sweet and the funny, the good and the bad

But now you're beginning to change, and the distance is growing wide

I'm scared we won't make it to the other side

I'm terrified of losing us, tearing at the seams

I still love you, Bobby... even though it breaks my dreams
