TOMBSTONE BOB
Author(s): Brother Sun
Songbook: Unpubbed Other
KeyWords: Teamworking,

Bob was a fine young man, but he became a high society snob,
So we sadly nicknamed him, "Tombstone Bob";
Bob had what some would call imagination,
He loved his God and sought a better nation,
But when he turned just one day past twenty-nine,
He left it all just to wine and dine

Chorus:
Isn't it a pity, livin' in the city,
Bob found his place in the rat race,
Well, he died at thirty, buried at sixty,
Tombstone Bob, he gave up trying and started dying,
Trapped within a system job, trapped within a system job

To change the world was Bob's one dream while in his youth,
His soul was eager to learn knowledge of the truth,
But now he's strictly just a company man neck-tied,
He gave up freedom for security and pride

[Repeat Chorus]

So, listen children what your Grandpa has to say,
Don't let that buggy man chase your dreams away,
Keep serving Jesus 'cause it's never too late for love,
When your soul is born again, you're always young enough, but

Chorus:
Isn't it a pity, livin' in the city,
Bob found his place in the rat race,
Well, he died at thirty, buried at sixty,
Tombstone Bob, he gave up trying and started dying,
Trapped within a system job, trapped within a system job
