AmBrewton AlCabama at The ColoGnial AmInn,
Amhot day, old oraCnge juice, some vGodka on a night stAmand,
there's a AmChevy NoCva with the Gseat burned out the bAmack,
from a AmWinston Ccigarette, that was Gstumped into the wAmind
Amold Bobby CLong was like ZorGba the GreAmek,
AmSide-trackeCd by theG scent of a wAmoman,
AmCould've been an acCtor on aG moviescreeAmn
AmStayed in CAlabama just a Gdreamer of dAmreams
GHe played football against W.S.E.O.
Am (Fill)
should've seen him running down the field
GI grow old, I grow old where the bottoms of my
Am (Fill)
trousers rolled
it's a love Gsong, for Bobby AmLong
A love Gsong, for Bobby LoAmng
INTRO (2x)
he Amwas a handsome Cman, he had CGherokee cheeckAmbones
a Amfair haired Cboy, whGere did he go Amwrong,
he chose a Amroadless Ctravel, made Gall the differenAmce,
now he's Amchastisezed, cCritisiezed he Gdon't make no Amsense
G Am (Fill)
Brewton called him crazy, he said Bobby Long was nothing but a drunk,
G Am (Fill)
but all the thoughts in his head was way passed anything they duwmb funk
it's a love Gsong, for Bobby LongAm
a love song,G for Bobby LongAm

the Emroad I ride is gonna set me free
Ghe's gonna take me home

he was a Amfriend of my paCpa's he used to dGrink and tell liAmes
praised AmFlannery OC'Connors, smoked cigarGettes and filosophieAmd
Am so here I Cam at The ColGonial InAmn
Amme and Captain LoCng and my pGretty girl-fAmriend
he Amcharmes her with a Cpoem, then he braGkes down and crAmies
Amsmile a crooked Csmile, with his bGroken cheeck-bone sAmide
Amtells about his Clife, Gnow he's 6Am3,
he Amlooks me in the Ceyes, he says cGome and go with Amme
Ghe could walk on water, walk on water
Am (Fill)
but you know you drown themselves and wine
Ggod and a devil, god and a devil,
Am (Fill)
god and a devil along inside his mind
it's a love sGong, for Bobby LAmong
a love soGng, for Bobby LoAmng
