(howe/thomas) Bobby's going out tonight, looking for trouble Everybody likes to fight sometimes Heading south on 41, straight for the action Meeting the boys at the county line He kicks it into overdrive, really puts that pedal down Feels so good to be alive, he's had enough of being pushed around Bobby and the boys walk in, the heads start turning They don't like no strangers in this place, no no Everybody's acting tough, words get spoken And someone pulls a knife in bobby's face He turns away but it's too late, he's gotta face them on his own Left him there to meet his fate, bobby's never going home Chorus: Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line Mary's waiting home tonight, she's dreaming of church bells Bobby says the day is getting near Mary hears the doorbell ring, the blue lights are flashing At 2 am her dreams all disappear Mary's world is turning upside down, she's been left here on her own Her world is spinning 'round and 'round, bobby's never coming home Chorus: Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line He said that soon their lives would be as one Looks like you're gonna be the lonely one (solo) Maybe in a year or two, she'll find someone of her own Mary don't you wait around, bobby's never coming home Chorus repeats 2x Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
