Am C G Am Brewton Alabama at The Colonial Inn, Am C G Am hot day, old orange juice, some vodka on a night stand, Am C G Am there's a Chevy Nova with the seat burned out the back, Am C G Am from a Winston cigarette, that was stumped into the wind Am C G Am old Bobby Long was like Zorba the Greek, Am C G Am Side-tracked by the scent of a woman, Am C G Am Could've been an actor on a moviescreen Am C G Am Stayed in Alabama just a dreamer of dreams G He played football against W.S.EO. Am (Fill) should've seen him running down the field G I grow old, I grow old where the bottoms of my Am (Fill) trousers rolled G Am it's a love song, for Bobby Long G Am A love song, for Bobby Long INTRO (2x) Am C G Am he was a handsome man, he had Cherokee cheeckbones Am C G Am a fair haired boy, where did he go wrong, Am C G Am he chose a roadless travel, made all the difference, Am C G Am now he’s chastisezed, critisiezed he don't make no sense 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 G Am it's a love song, for Bobby Long G Am a love song, for Bobby Long Bm Am G D but don't get me wrong, Bobby Long was no good, Bm Am G D he'd drag you down, if he thought he could Am well he would drag you down, Em the road I ride will be the day for me G won't come along Em the road I ride is gonna set me free G he’s gonna take me home
