Something to Live For
Bobby drives a pick-up for a corner store
Four bucks an hour and he's hoping for more
He's 28 years old and he still lives at home
Bobby's got ideas, but he ain't alone
There's a million Bobbies across this land
Everybody's got real big plans
He's got something to live for
Something so real
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
Bobby's got an uncle who talks a mean streak
Makes more in an hour than Bobby in a week
He tells the boy, don't waste your time
Be useless like your father, nickel and dime
There's a million Bobbies across this land
Everybody's got real big plans
He's got something to live for
Something so real
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
Bobby could have done it if he'd only tried
Could have been a contender, could have been a great guy
But he didn't rob a bank or write a hit song
Got a raise and married Yvonne
Turn it on
Turn it up now, baby
Let's go!
He's got something to live for
Something so real
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
He's got something to live for
That one sweet deal
He's got something to live for
One sweet deal
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
He's got something to live for
Four bucks an hour and he's hoping for more
He's 28 years old and he still lives at home
Bobby's got ideas, but he ain't alone
There's a million Bobbies across this land
Everybody's got real big plans
He's got something to live for
Something so real
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
Bobby's got an uncle who talks a mean streak
Makes more in an hour than Bobby in a week
He tells the boy, don't waste your time
Be useless like your father, nickel and dime
There's a million Bobbies across this land
Everybody's got real big plans
He's got something to live for
Something so real
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
Bobby could have done it if he'd only tried
Could have been a contender, could have been a great guy
But he didn't rob a bank or write a hit song
Got a raise and married Yvonne
Turn it on
Turn it up now, baby
Let's go!
He's got something to live for
Something so real
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
He's got something to live for
That one sweet deal
He's got something to live for
One sweet deal
He's got something to live for
That one big deal
He's got something to live for
