Bobby

This one is totally fictional. Don't cry little guy just 'cause you're moving away Your daddy's got a brand new job out in Santa Fe He's trying to make a better life for your mom and you So, how about holding back those tears Yes, I'm crying too So I said goodbye to Bobby like I knew I had to do But Some things that I told him Weren't exactly true I wish I could have told him to stay If that's where he'd really like to be I wish I could have told him the truth About his mom and me So, I said goodbye And tried not to cry And told him to have fun I wish I could have said to him Bobby, you're my only son.
