Bobby was a boy in an old man’s suit Working so hard to fill his daddy’s shoes He never knew the man to his dying day Went on his life with a price to pay

Said I’ll catch a ride far away from here There’s a girl out west calling baby come near With the setting sun she ran away

He came back home with a price to pay

Life can change your time and you’d never know

How you can change the ones you love with the love you show Stand up and say

It’s my love I won’t let it go to waste

It’s my heart and dreams that keep me from walking down your path

He’d never tell you what you wanted to know Like why he goes fast when you want to go slow Then he took a turn too sharp to steal

Leaving all the answers at the bottom of the hill

Who can be so cruel who can blame the son

For what he’s conditioned to learn when he is young Stand up and say

It’s my love I won’t let it go to waste

It’s my heart and dreams that keep me from walking down your path

Open my heart

I’ll open my soul

Just take your love

Never let go

Make this life worth living

For all the world to see

That the path you walked ends here with me

Bobby never knew where he wanted to go
