When he fell in love himself, he came to understand
They'd all seen the headlines about Bobby and his wife
The young man drove his car up, and parked outside the gate
Daddy, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
I am not afraid of what people say or do
The stories of the accident that robbed his mama's mind
How it was that Bobby took the life they both adored
And the one about the man who sits alone
They all knew what he had done, they were glad to take him in
Night after night, they'd hear him sing his song, he'd sing
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
He took out the papers from the trunk beneath his bed
'Cause Bobby couldn't stand to see her suffer anymore
The only thing I fear is being here without you
You have taught me not to fear what people say and do
He took Bobby in his arms and the young man sang the song
When the guard left the two of them alone
How they loved each other, and how he took her life
The only thing I fear is being here without you
No harm will ever come to you as long as I'm around
Day after day, he sat alone
The little boy dressed up in blue grew up to be a man
When the guard brought bobby in, the young man finally knew
Year after year, singing his song
He still missed his mama, but he'd missed his daddy too
Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
And all the years just disappeared as through his tears he read
And the man who held her in his arms and chose to cut the line
They led him to a cold gray room, the guard told him to wait
They locked Bobby in a jail with forty other men
A little boy, dressed in blue, was standing at the rail
Baby, I'll take care of you, I'll never let you down
He said, "I hope they kill you, I hope you go to hell"
I am not afraid of what people say or do
