Bobbie

Slick haired girls with the pretty skirts

Said see who's hands are shakin'

And the broad chest boys from South Detroit

Say who's money are we takin'?

Well, the switchblade kids got the tattooed skin

And the demons and a reason for anger

The girls kiss scars on the hood of cars

It's the city and the season for danger

Bobbie caught a bottle in the side of the head

Now he's spittin' out his teeth

Well, the chains, dust gangs and razorblades

Will bring order back to these streets

I got scars and I know their worth

She said these boys round here are hard to hurt

I got scars and I guess they're worth

She said these boys round here are hard to hurt

Well, stitch us up and tape our hands

We can fight beneath the moonlight

And shadows mix with clouds of dust

In silhouetted streetfight

Well, Mary, run away with me

Before the heat, it starts to close in

Just wrap my pistol in a shirt

And toss it in the ocean

Bobbie caught a bottle in the side of the head

Now he's spittin' out his teeth

Well, the chains, dust gangs and razorblades

Will bring order back to these streets

I got scars and I know their worth

She said these boys round here are hard to hurt

I got scars and I guess they're worth

She said these boys round here are hard to hurt

Well, Mary, come and dance with me

In the headlights we will be set free

We made love in the dust and dirt

In the vacant lot behind your mother's church

She said I was lost but now I'm found

By a switchblade boy from outside town

If I don't make it through the night

Please tell my mama when the time is right

Bobbie caught a bottle in the side of the head

Now he's spittin' out his teeth

Well, the chains, dust gangs and razorblades

Will bring order back to these streets

I got scars and I know their worth

She said these boys round here are hard to hurt

I got scars and I guess they're worth

She said these boys round here are hard to hurt
