[Verse 1]
He came in on a black steel frame
Dust on his vest, no need for a name
The moon sat low on a cracked front porch
Big Bad Bob rolled through town like a torch
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't stay long
He don't ask why
Just parks that bike
And watches eyes
[Chorus]
Big Bad Bob
He rides through town
Big Bad Bob
Leaves trouble down
Big Bad Bob
Better lock your door
Big Bad Bob
Then he rides some more (Big Bad Bob)
[Verse 2]
From Pine Ridge east to the river bend
He shakes one hand, then he counts to ten
Bar doors swing when that engine growls
Folks step back when he wears that scowl
[Pre-Chorus]
He don't stay long
He don't ask why
Just parks that bike
And watches eyes
[Chorus]
Big Bad Bob
He rides through town
Big Bad Bob
Leaves trouble down
Big Bad Bob
Better lock your door
Big Bad Bob
Then he rides some more (Big Bad Bob)
[Bridge]
Preacher said, son, turn from sin
Bob just smiled with a weathered grin
He tipped his hat to the wrecking night
Then he kicked that starter and vanished right
[Chorus]
Big Bad Bob
He rides through town
Big Bad Bob
Leaves trouble down
Big Bad Bob
Better lock your door
Big Bad Bob
Then he rides some more (Big Bad Bob)
[Outro]
Town to town
He leaves his mark
Hot on the road
And cold in the dark
