(Reba McEntire, Don Schlitz)
2
Bobby pleaded guilty to the charges that they read
3
As they led him from the courtroom, a young voice turned his head
4
A little boy, dressed in blue, was standing at the rail
5
He said "I hope they kill you, I hope you go to hell"
6
They put Bobby in a jail with forty other men
7
They all knew what he had done, they were glad to take him in
8
They'd all seen the headlines about Bobby and his wife
9
How they loved each other, and how he took her life
10
Day after day, he sat alone
11
Night after night, they'd hear him sing his song (he'd sing)
12
Chorus:
13
Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
14
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
15
I am not afraid of what people say or do
16
The only thing I fear is being here...without you
17
The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
18
When he fell in love himself, he came to understand
19
How it was that Bobby took the life they both adored
20
Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore
21
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
22
And all the years just disappeared as through his tears he read
23
The stories of the accident that robbed his mama's mind
24
And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line
25
And the one about the man who sits alone
26
Year after year, singing his song (he'd sing)
27
Repeat Chorus:
28
The young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
29
They led him to a cold gray room, the guard told him to wait
30
When the gaurd brought Bobby in, the young man finally knew
31
He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy too
32
And when the guard left the two of them alone
33
He took Bobby in his arms, and the young man sang the song
34
Daddy, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
35
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
36
You have taught me not to fear what people say or do
37
The only thing I fear is being here...without you
