"Goodnight Bob" Songtext
von Ryan Adams

("Goodnight Bob!")
(Excuse me?)
("Goodnight, Bob?")

Goodnight, Bob
Ever since you bought that laundromat
You′ve been so stressed out
Washing all those clothes
Bob, maybe you should just go home

And your eyeballs tumble and rumble around
Like the change in the machines
But not the kind that people put in the machines
The kind that fall out of the jeans
Oh Bob, goodnight, man


Ever since you bought that sedan
You've been bummed out
I told you it′s got 600,389 miles on it
You said "I don't care."
"I'll do my E-bay stuff, and you do yours!"
And I′m like, "This is my Mom′s basement
And I will kick you out anytime I want, Bob."

And your eyes, your eyes are spinnin' round
Like the change in the machines
(Pause, long pause)
Not the kind that people put in the machines
But the kind that′s in the machines
That falls out of the jeans

Oh, why'd we s-start this stupid laundromat, Bob?
As if that vintage postcard store wasn′t bad enough
I can't watch you
Work on those fucking models anymore
You been workin′ on that Battleship I for six years
And everytime you go out and have too many beers
I paint it orange

Goodnight, Bob
Goodnight, Bob
Goodnight, Bob


(I'm satisfied)
(I hope you had a nice time)
(I had a lovely evening)
(Thank you for spending the evening with me)
(I feel like I know you better)
(I feel like, hopefully, you feel like you know me better)
(And I appreciate everybody dressin up)
(And looking so nice)
(You all look smashing, lovely)
(Everybody, lovely)
(Be safe and take care)
(Thank you so much)
