Well, I came by your house the other day
Your mother said you went away
She said there was nothin' I could've done
There was nothin' nobody could say
Now me and you, we've known each other
Ever since we were sixteen
I wish I would've known, I wished I could've called you
Just to say, "Goodbye, Bobby Jean"
Well, 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
I wish you'd have told me, I wish I could've talked to you
Just to say, "Goodbye, Bobby Jean"
Now, we went walking in the rain
Talking about the pain from the world we hid
And there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow
Ever gonna understand me the way that you did
Well, maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere
Some bus or train, travelin' along
In some motel room, there'll be a radio playin'
And you'll hear me sing this song
If you do, you'll know I'm thinkin' of you
And all the miles in between
I'm just callin' one last time
Not to change your mind
Just to say, "I miss you, baby"
Good luck, goodbye
Bobby Jean
