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
