Terry Allen - Great Joe Bob слова песни
(A Regional Tragedy)He was a panhandle princeеЌ†hhhSchoolboy football kingThey told him "Hi" in the halls`Cause he could run them ballsBut it was rumored (down deep) he was meanHe dated high-tone girlsWith frosty pom-pom curlsBut he never gave out his ringHe was the best of the bestHe met the grid-iron testAn there ain`t nothinеЌ†s AmericanAn cleanHe was the pride of the backfieldAhhh the hero of his dayYeah he carried the ball for the red and blueThey won District Triple-AAn his name made all the papersAs the best they`d ever hadYeah so nobody understood itWhen the Great Joe Bob went badFirst he lost his scholarshipTo Texas TechFor drinking during trainingAn breaking the coach`s neckеЋѓeahThen he got suspended (ahhh) for acting obsceneAround the Cum-Laudy, Cum-LaudyDaughter of the DeanSoHe took up with a waitressNamed Loose Ruby ColeWhile she was a-hoppin` tablesDown at the Hi-D-HoAn he met her on the slyWhen her daddy weren`t aroundYeah but he stopped making yardageWhen he started messin `round(chorus)Yeah it spread like a country wildfireThat something big had gone all strangeJoe Bob the Greatest HalfbackWas actin half-derangedеЌ†hhhHe`d been seen out with this womanGettin drunk and havin funYeah he growed his hair, then gived up prayerAn said, "Football days is done"ThenHe and old Loose RubyRobbed a Pinkie`s Liquor StoreAn had a run-in with the lawWhen they`s runnin out the doorAn Joe Bob`s fate was sealedFor the next centuryYeah he traded in the pigskinFor the penitentiary(chorus)
