hey Bobby Malone
it‘s good to have you home
so you tried your own route
& it didn‘t work out
well you‘re not alone
a job that made you crazy
in a town you won‘t miss
& the drunks you called friends
were a means to an end
& this is the end
hey Bobby Malone
how you have grown
a couple months on the couch
while you figure things out
won‘t do you wrong
hey Bobby Malone
couldn‘t make rent again
or are you in trouble deep
you‘re a stray dog with fleas
& your sister agrees
you‘ve looked better son
hey Bobby Malone
it‘s good to have you home
a couple months on the couch
while you figure things out
won‘t do you wrong
hey Bobby Malone

back in town with damaged lungs
& shot ear drums & misplaced kisses
& someone who misses
who misses me in kansas
the second i got out of the van
i saw you giving your cash to the doorman
i saw the x on your hand
& i knew you were the one
or i knew you'd understand
or oh, i wish we could have talked all night
we had to be in illinois by daylight
& what i wouldn't give to be your man
but i can't break up the band
& jeane, there must be more than letters & phone calls
so say you'll come see maine when the snow falls
just say you'll come see maine when the snow falls
there's kissing in kansas but that's not home
& we sigh when we're on the phone
but the voice in my ear
says it wouldn't be same if you came here
but it's just miles
it's only miles
it's just miles
& miles & miles & miles & miles

you went out w/ your best sweater on
w/ every intention of dancing til dawn
but when the dj played that song
it all went wrong
& crying in the cab ride home
w/ the frank sinatra on the radio
but it might as well have been lil kim
when every song you hear still reminds you of him
& you'll say that it's no big deal
but it's the shake in your voice that gives away how you feel
& you couldn't have slammed the door any faster
yeah you'll say that it's no big deal
but it's the tears on your face that give away how you feel
they say tonight tonight was a disaster

they played the records that we all know
they played them fast & they played them slow
with crazy lights & the music loud
it wasn't the same somehow
i wish we could dance the same as before
but i don't have it in me anymore
the same dinner that the same cafe
you kept asking if i was okay
& though i can't explain it even now
it wasn't the same somehow
the sweetest air & not a cloud in sight
i walked you home & i said goodnight
but when you asked me up to the house
it just wasn't the same somehow
i wish we could kiss the same as before
but i don't have it in me anymore
