Drive-By Truckers - Bob lyrics
[Drive-By Truckers - Bob lyrics]
Every Sunday that the fish ain't bitin'
Bob never has to have
Dinner with the preacher
'Cause Bob never bothered getting married
He likes to drink a beer or
Two every now and again
He always had more dogs than
He ever had friends
Bob ain't light in the loafers
He might kneel but he never bends over
Bob takes care of his mama
She's the only one he lets call him Robert
She don't drive anymore so he
Takes her to the store
And keeps her yard looking just
Like she wants it every week at the beauty
Shop Bob's mama hears
Of another woman's made another man disappear
Robert ain't exactly scared of women
He's just got his own way of livin'
Bob's still got an antenna on a pole
Two channels come in, two more come and go
He used to watch the news
But he don't anymore
Ain't none of it new, it's the same as before
He figures all any of it's any good for
Is keeping every bored 'til there
Ain't nobody like Bob anymore
Bob takes care of his mama
She's a mess but he feels like he oughta
How big a mess today? Ask Bob, he'll say
"She's a big 'un and she's gonna be a lotta"
He likes to drink a beer or
Two every now and again
He always had more dogs than
He ever had friends
Bob ain't light in the loafers
He might kneel but he never bends over
