Lyrics

Our Friend Bobby

Cops found him on a Sunday

So we all met up Monday night

I guess we always kind of figured this might happen, someday

It’s just a drag that we were right

Everybody telling me that he’s in heaven

He’s probably smiling down on us right now

But judging by the kind of stuff he was all mixed up in

Even I have my doubts

Drink one for our friend Bobby

Ran his car right off the road

On accident, on purpose, darling

Even now we don’t know

Drink one for our friend bobby

Open them gates and let him in

On accident, on propose, darling

Those were pretty much the same to him

My dad called him the neighbour kid

Next best thing to next of kin

I probably woulda got beat up like a thousand more times than I did

If I didn’t grow up next to him

And all of my friends can just keep on talking

Going on and on about a bunch of lies

But when’s the last time any of them saw him or even called him

He wasn’t that bad a guy

Drink one for my friend Bobby

Ran his car right off the road

On accident, on purpose, darling

Even now we don’t know

Drink one for our friend bobby

Open them gates and let him in

On accident, on propose, darling

Those were pretty much the same to him

Those were pretty much the same to him
