Portastatic - Bobby Jean lyrics

I came by your house the other day Your mother said you went away She said there was nothing we could do There was nothing nobody could say You and me, we've known each other Ever since we were sixteen I wished I would have known, I wished I could have talked to you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean You hung with me when all the others Turned away, turned up their nose We liked the same bands, we liked the same music We liked the same clothes We told each other that we were the wildest The wildest things we'd ever seen And I wished I would have known, I wished I could have called you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean We went walking in the rain Talked about the pain that from the world we hid Now, there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow Gonna ever understand me the way you did Well, maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere In some bus or train, traveling alone In a motel room, there'll be a radio playing And you'll hear me sing this song Well, if you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you And all the miles in between And I'm just calling one last time not to change your mind Just to say I miss you, baby, good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
