Drive-By Truckers
Song: Bob
Album: Brighter Then Creations Dark
Tuning: Down One Step
Bob goes to church every Sunday, Every Sunday that the fish ain t biting
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 made another man disappear
Robert ain t exactly scared of women, he s just got his own way of living
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 everybody bored
till 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,
âShe s a big one and she s gonna be a lottaâ
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
