Kyote Radio - Fresno

Bobby played ball down in Fresno
Never made it to the bay
The big show's just too big sometimes
That's what Bobby used to say

He drifted down the Cali coastline
Ended up in East LA
Did some bouncing for a strip joint
Made some cash and made his way

Back East back home to Texas
But this time he's here to stay
He says there aint no use in hanging on
To what's already slipped away

Out the backdoor in to midnight
Bobby's leaving with his gun
He sits out there in an old lawn chair
Wonders what he was become

He says I could live forever but they'd never know my name

He's ridden on that high horse
Marched behind the mule
Played this game a time or two
But he still don't know the rules

He's ridden on that high horse
Marched behind the mule
Played this game a time or two
But he still don't know the rules

Well Bobby he got married
Had himself a couple kids
Tried his best to help them
Not make the same mistakes he did

But time went on just like it does
Now his boys are grown
His wife left with the youngest one
Now Bobby's all alone

One day he got to drinking
Started shooting up the sky
The neighbors they all just gathered around
And they asked ol' Bobby why

He said my father taught me something
That I never taught my sons
Always measure twice you know
You can only cut it once

So I broke my back a trying
To make myself a better man
I just ended up here drinking cheap ass beer
With this pistol in my hand

Screaming c'mon God come get me
I've had all that I can stand
I take off my shirt throw down my gun
Come fight me like a man

He says I could live forever but they'd never know my name

He's ridden on that high horse
Marched behind the mule
Played this game a time or two
But he still don't know the rules

He's ridden on that high horse
Marched behind the mule
Played this game a time or two
But he still don't know the rules
