Well I came by your house the other day,
your mother said you went away
She said there was nothing that I could have done
There was nothing nobody could say
Me and you we’ve known each other
ever since we were sixsteen
I wished I would have known
I wished I could have called you
Just to say goodbye Bobby Jean
Now you hung with me when all the others
turned away turned up their noise
We liked the same music we liked the same
bands we liked the same clothes
We told each other that we were the wildest,
the wildest things we’d ever seen
Now I wished you would have told me
I wished I could have talked to you
Just to say goodbye Bobby Jean
Now we went walking in the rain talking
about the pain from the world we hid
Now there ain’t nobody nowherer nohow
gonna ever understand me the way you did
Maybe you’ll be out there on that road somewhere
In some bus or train traveling along
In some 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
But just to say I miss you baby,
good luck goodbye, Bobby Jean
