Song: Bob
Album: Brighter Then Creations Dark
Tuning: Down One Step
DBob goes to church every ASunday,
Every GSunday that the fish ain't Dbiting
DBob never has to have Adinner with the preacher,
cause GBob never bothered getting Dmarried
He likes to Adrink a beer or two every now and again,
he always Ghad more dogs than he Dever had friends
DBob ain't light in the Aloafers, he might Gkneel but he never bends Dover
DBob takes care of his Amama,
she's the Gonly one he lets call him DRobert
DShe don't drive anymore sAo he takes her to the store
and keeps her Gyard looking just like she Dwants it
Every Aweek at the beauty shop Bob's mama hears
of aGnother woman made another Dman disappear
DRobert ain't exactly scared of Awomen, he's Gjust got his own way of Dliving
ABob's still got an antenna on a pole
Gtwo channels come in, Dtwo more come and go
AHe used to watch the news but he don't anymore,
Gain't none of it new it's the Dsame as before
AHe figures all any of it's any good for is keeping Geverybody bored
till there ain't nobody like DBob anymore
DBob takes care of his Amama
she's a Gmess but he feels like he Doughta
DHow big a mess today? AAsk Bob he'll say,
“She's a Gbig one and she's gonna be a Dlotta”
He likes to Adrink a beer or two every now and again,
he always Ghad more dogs than he Dever had friends
DBob ain't light in the Aloafers, he might Gkneel but he never bends Dover
