Bobby Sue and Skinny Jim

Her name was Bobby Sue his name was Skinny Jim
Their lives were understated and they couldn't
Seem to win

In every way they wondered, love was torn asunder
Where did it all go wrong? For the both of them

Every day and every night, bobby cried till the
Morning light, every day and every night Jim would
Drink and they would fight

How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
How long can this keep going on? How long can we...
And this is the story of a love that couldn't last
Of a long forgotten past,
Of youth that slipped away,
Of a thought from yesterday
