Bobbie

The slick haired girls with a pretty skirts say let’s see who’s hands are shaking
And the broad chest boys from South Detroit said who’s money are we taking
Well the switchblade kids with the tattooed skin got demons and a reason for anger
Girls kiss scars on the hood of cars it’s the city and season for danger
Bobbie caught a bottle in the side of the head now he’s spitting out his teeth
Well with chains, dust gangs, and razor blades will bring order back to these streets
I got scars and I know they’re worth I said them boys out here are hard to hurt
I got scars and I guess they’re worth I said them boys round here are hard to hurt

Stitch us up and tape our hands we can fight beneath the moonlight
Shadows mix with clouds of dust in a silhouetted street fight
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 spitting out his teeth
Well with chains, dust gangs, and razor blades will bring order back to these streets
I got scars and I know they’re worth I said them boys out here are hard to hurt
I got scars and I guess they’re worth I said them 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 spitting out his teeth
Well with chains, dust gangs, and razor blades will bring order back to these streets
I got scars and I know they’re worth I said them boys out here are hard to hurt
I got scars and I guess they’re worth I said them boys round here are hard to hurt
