Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read

As they led him from the courtroom, a young voice turned his head

A little boy, dressed in blue, was standing at the rail
Cm F
He said "I hope they kill you. I hope you go to hell."
Bb Eb Bb
They locked Bobby in a jail with forty other men
Bb Eb Cm F
They all knew what he had done, and they were glad to take him in
Eb Gm Eb
They'd all seen in the headlines about Bobby and his wife

How they loved each other, and how he took her life
Gm Eb
Day after day, he sat alone
Cm F
Night after night, they'd hear him sing song (he'd sing)
CHORUS:
Bb Eb Cm Bb
Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
Bb Eb Cm F
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
Gm Eb Gm
I am not afraid of what people say or do
Cm Eb F Bb Eb Bb Eb
The only thing I fear is being here... without you.

Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore
Bb Eb Bb
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
Bb Eb Cm F
And all the years just disappeared as through his tears he read

The stories of the accident that robbed his mama's mind
Cm F
And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line
Gm Eb
and the one about the man who sits alone

Year after year, singin his song go to chorus
Bb Eb Bb
The young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
Bb Eb Cm F
They led him to a cold grey room, the guard told him to wait
Eb Gm Eb
When the guard brought Bobby in the young man finally knew
Cm F
He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy too
Gm Eb
And when the guard left the two of them alone
Cm F
He took Bobby in his arms, and the young man sang his song
Bb Eb Cm Bb
Daddy, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
Bb Eb Cm F
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
Gm Eb Gm
You have taught me not to fear what people say or do
Cm Eb F Bb Eb Bb
The only thing that hurts is being here..without you.
