Poor ol' Hobbs

bumming cigarettes and quarters

for his cheap red wine.

.....we don't mind



Sad ol' Hobbs

hangin at the bar at Lucy's

until closin time



He must be outta his mind

drunk and mumbles all the time

every year around springtime

wanders in ol' Hobbs



Poor ol' Hobbs

had a wife and a education

but it doesn't show

.....we'll never know



Sad ol' Hobbs

kicked in the head by a horse

down at the rodeo



Well he rambles to and fro

sweepin parking lots for a sloppy joe

guess we'll never truly know

about good ol' Hobbs



Dear sweet Hobbs

preacher found him in the alley

in the pouring rain

....its a shame



Pitiful Hobbs

love letters clutched in his fingers

from his sweet love Jane



Some say he died from pain

or her verse and memories drove him insane

but now he's aboard that heaven train

wheelin away ol' Hobbs
