Bobby Jean Lyrics - Singles - Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band

Well, I came to 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 sixteen 

I wished I could 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 

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 that from the world we hid 

Now there ain't nobody, nowhere, 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 you one last time 

Not to change your mind, but just to say I miss you, baby 

Good luck, goodbye, Bobby Jean
