Well I came by your house the other day

Your mother said you went away

She said there was nothing that I could have done

There was nothing nobody could say

Me and you we've known each other

Ever since we were sixsteen

I wished I would have known

I wished I could have called you

Just to say goodbye Bobby Jean

Now you hung with me when all the others

Turned away turned up their noise

We liked the same music we liked the same

Bands we liked the same clothes

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

Now we went walking in the rain talking

About the pain from the world we hid

Now there ain't nobody nowherer nohow

Gonna ever understand me the way you did

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

Well if you do you'll know

I'm thinking of you and all the miles in between

And I'm just calling one

Last time not to change your mind

But just to say I miss you baby

Good luck goodbye Bobby Jean
