Lyrics

BOBBY SUE
© D. Mark Ragg (2005)

Her eyes can sink a ship
Those lips could blush a moon
Her legs can make you trip
She?s got a look that?ll make you swoon
While guys don?t ask about her mind
She can think you into a corner
And twist it till you haven?t got a clue
Meet Bobby Sue

Some men tried to please her
Some tried to tie her down
Some thought that they?d hit pay dirt
Some dove in deep and thought they?d drown
She could see through all their tricks
They were way too smitten
Puppy love just wasn?t going to do
For Bobby Sue

(Bridge)
Bobby Sue, Bobby Sue, Bobby Sue
I?d crawl through glass just to be with you
I carried your books every day to school
And sat up late when your life got cruel
Now you?re a woman and I?m a fool
You?re packing to leave, what can I do
I?m losing you before you knew
That I love you? Bobby Sue

She listened to her mother
Paid attention to her dad
Took all that they had taught her
So much learning to be had
She?s going to grow to be somebody
And leave the double wide behind her
The trailer park?s a place to be out grew
For Bobby Sue

Her truck set off to find the city
Her destiny was her only map
I wallowed in a pool of my self pity
In my double wide down by the gap
Where all those things I never said
Are written on my wall
When she comes back I?m going to say them to
Bobby Sue
