[Verse 1]
I came by your house the other day
Your mama said that you went away
She said there was nothing that I could have done
There was nothing nobody could say
You and me, we've known each other
Yeah, ever since we were sixteen
I wished I would have known, I wished I could have called you
Just to say "Goodbye, Bobby Jean"
[Verse 2]
Now you hung with me when all the others
Turned away, turned up their nose
We liked the same music, we liked the same bands
We liked the same clothes
Yeah 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"
[Bridge]
We went walking in the rain
Talking 'bout the pain from the world we hid
Ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow
Ever gonna understand me the way you did
[Verse 3]
Well 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
If you do, know I'm thinking of you
And all the miles in between
I just calling one last time, not to change your mind
But to say "I miss you baby
"Yeah good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean"
