1. Bobby was a kid from ‘round the town

G

kicks pumped up and head held down,

underwater more than he was up.

He dreamed submarines and bottle green,

imaginary flight machines,

but in blue jean flairs he’d bubble like a 7-up.

shoot it ‘til you feel alive and play one more show,

C G D

Look into the buzz and shake it ‘til it turns around,

A

you can’t stop feeling.

C G D

The boss-man suits and the elevator boots astound,

A

and you can’t help healing.

C G

And they want you and you want to

D A

with your lips on fire and your head unscrewed,

C G D - G

but it’s time to whip another chain and hit onе more town.

2. Bobby doesn’t know her namе,

G

he holds on tightly just the same,

D G

sometimes one more night is all you need.

I met Alice near the Alamo

one summer in San Antonio,

G

and it’s hard to feel and I can’t get high,

D G

and I don’t always understand how to survive.

D

Man, kids get sick of being bottled up,

G

and it drags you down ‘til you throw it up,

D G

gotta get outta the house, take a ride on the radio dial.

Em F#m Bm

And everybody wants to know you when you’re the only one to know,
