Song to Bobby

Oh Judas what did you do You plugged in now they all have knives out for you It’s funny how the old road paved All the rules that you were meant to break I was but a speck in ‘65 the year they say old folk music died But the times-a-changed and they saw another side of you You brought it all home down 61 With svelte built words that had never been done But the young folk just acted like the old folk With their fear of change See what’s old is safe and what’s safe gets old So give birth to something brash and bold F*ck them we ain’t gonna do what we’re told Now I’m not saying that’s what you were saying But I’m saying what I’m playing Is a direct result of what you pioneered long ago Now you loved Woody and I love Bobby So let me extend this little ditty Hey Bobby Dylan I wrote you a song I’ve seen a shooting star tonight and knew it was you It had to be it was tangled up in blue So it gave me quite the shelter from the storm Now blood on the tracks was quite the act But it's hard to see when you react When it was so nice for us but so much pain for you I was knocked out loaded and down in the groove But modern times saved me from doom Now I’m walking the path that you have paved Let it be written that with you I’m smitten And the gift to all that you have given Keeps my mind alive and churning out lines We all need a shot of love And we were saved from the man above Now it’s just time out of mind I’d love to say thanks to your careworn face For the light inspired amazing grace But its been said you should meet your Heroes you’ll be disappointed So I’ll just be another over time To say to you one more time There’s you Bobby and everyone else Oh Judas what did you do You plugged in now they’ve got knives out for you It’s funny how the old road paved All the rules that you were meant to break Oh Judas what did you do Bottom line is really we all just want to be as good as you
