D                        A
Bob goes to church every Sunday,
      G                          D
Every Sunday that the fish ain't biting
D                     A
Bob never has to have dinner with the preacher,
      G                          D
cause Bob never bothered getting married
            A
He likes to drink a beer or two every now and again,
          G                     D
he always had more dogs than he ever had friends
D                      A                 G                        D
Bob ain't light in the loafers, he might kneel but he never bends over
 
 
D                     A
Bob takes care of his mama,
          G                         D
she's the only one he lets call him Robert
D                        A
She don't drive anymore so he takes her to the store
              G                          D
and keeps her yard looking just like she wants it
      A
Every week at the beauty shop Bob's mama hears
    G                         D
of another woman made another man disappear
D                              A           G                       D
Robert ain't exactly scared of women, he's just got his own way of living
 
 
A
Bob's still got an antenna on a pole
G                     D
two channels come in, two more come and go
A
He used to watch the news but he don't anymore,
G                             D
ain't none of it new it's the same as before
A                                                  G
He figures all any of it's any good for is keeping everybody bored
                             D
till there ain't nobody like Bob anymore
 
 
D                     A
Bob takes care of his mama
        G                         D
she's a mess but he feels like he oughta
D                     A
How big a mess today? Ask Bob he'll say,
         G                            D
“She's a big one and she's gonna be a lotta”
            A
He likes to drink a beer or two every now and again,
          G                     D
he always had more dogs than he ever had friends
D                      A                 G                        D
Bob ain't light in the loafers, he might kneel but he never bends over
