Mary's world is turning upside down, she's been left here on her own
They don't like no strangers in this place, no no
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Maybe in a year or two, she'll find someone of her own
Meeting the boys at the county line
Everybody's acting tough, words get spoken
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Bobby and the boys walk in, the heads start turning
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Heading south on 41, straight for the action
Bobby says the day is getting near
He said that soon their lives would be as one
At 2 a.m. her dreams all disappear
And someone pulls a knife in Bobby's face
He kicks it into overdrive, really puts that pedal down
Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty
Mary hears the doorbell ring, the blue lights are flashing
Her world is spinning 'round and 'round, Bobby's never coming home
Looks like you're gonna be the lonely one
Mary's waiting home tonight, she's dreaming of church bells
Feels so good to be alive, he's had enough of being pushed around
Left him there to meet his fate, Bobby's never going home
Mary don't you wait around, Bobby's never coming home
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
He turns away but it's too late, he's gotta face them on his own
Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line
