BOBBIE DIED 121311 - RED DIRT DIARY

BOBBIE DIED

Bobby died night before last
I didn’t notice
I walked right past all the cars on the street
I thot it must me some kind of church group

Bobby died and I know she’ll be missed
And, Buford, he won’t get over this
He depended on her.
Wayne Earl sits by the window
What does he know

And there is nothing I can say
To make it go away

Bobby died, I know it’s a fact
I know it’s the truth
But I don’t know how to act
The last time she hugged me
How was I to know
It would be the last time

Bobbie died and the sirens rang out
And I listened as it passed by my house
I went back to my work

Neighbors and pets. The joy and regrets
A smatter of Time, that’s all we’ve got

Bobby died and what do we know
We thot Buford would be the first one to go
Buford and Wayne Earl. Now it’s Buford and Wayne Earl…
