Well, I came by your house the other day Your mother said you went away She said there was nothing I could've done There was nothing nobody could say Now, me and you, we've known each other Ever since we were sixteen I wish 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 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 wished you would have told me, I wish I could have talked to you Just to say goodbye, Bobby Jean Now, we went walking in the rain Talking about the pain that from the world we hid Now, there ain't nobody, nowhere, nohow Ever gonna understand me the way you did Well, maybe you'll be out there on that road somewhere In some bus or train, traveling alone In some motel room, there'll be a radio playing And you'll hear me sing this song If you do, you'll know I'm thinking of you And all the miles in between I'm just calling one last time not to change your mind Just to say I miss you, baby, good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
