Something to Live For
Bobby drives a pickup for a corner store
Four bucks an hour and he’s hoping for more
He’s twenty years old, 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 willing hands

He’s got something to live for
Something so real
He’s got something to live for
Got 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, hey waste your time
Be useless like your father, nickel and dime

There’s a million Bobbies across this land
Everybody’s got willing hands

He’s got something to live for
Something so real
He’s got something to live for
Got one big deal

Bobby could have done it if he’d only tried
Could have been a contender, could have been a big guy
But he didn’t rob a bank or write a hit song
Gotta raise Mary and Yvonne

He’s got something to live for
Something so real
He’s got something to live for
Got one big deal

-Barney Bentall
