lyrics

Bobby Boone

Bobby Boone took a red balloon to the corner of Idaho
Looking for a girl from a different world
To tell her what he didn't know
She asked him where he kept his watch
He said, "It's time to go"
They hopped in a van with guy named Man
While the sun fell far below

You know that Bobby was a sailor
Though he'd never seen the sea
But he had drunk water once
And that's good enough for me
He took off with a violin
A compass and a rose
To figure out the life he's in
Just following his nose

Joy Marie she could never see
What life was all about
Till one day ole Bobby came
And tried to pull her out
He was pleasant company
He was so devout
She left mama and them
To follow him
And her heart began to shout...

Joy was mild for an only child
Of a preacher's only daughter
But she'd catch all them local smiles
Just like her mama taught her
Bobby nearly broke his hand
Trying to take her from them boys
Cause Coeur d'Alene had no terrain
Quite like that of Joy's

With dreams afloat they bought a boat
And they sailed around the world
Sipping wine, half the time they didn't know where they were
Joy began to smile at him
When he'd make the fiddle purr
The songs he'd write all alone at night
They's mostly sung for her
He'd sing:

Sail to the moon on a silver spoon
Leave traces in the sky
Hope for the world
That you find the girl
With the sunshine in her eyes
I have wondered through the fire and ice
Then I looked above
It takes quite a sacrifice
To know that life is love
You know that once I was a sailor
Though I'd never seen the sea
But I had drunk water once
That was good enough for me
I took off with a violin
And your sweet company
To figure out this life we're in
Won't you walk awhile with me
