Tony And Bob

(альбом: Our Country: Americana Act II - 2018)

Sometimes on tour you just fall into situations.
With the band it was handy to have the big security guy around.
We called him the Gorilla.
He protected us from each other more than anything else,
And in my case, a tendency to self-destruct.

First there was a big Tony.
He was later replaced by Bobby from Chicago.
We tried hard to think of a nickname for him other than 'Gorilla'
But settled on the name 'Big Bob'.
It was a no-brainer really.

If one of them had been with me that day in New Orleans,
I wouldn't have gone down that street.
They had an instinct for knowing when something bad was going to happen.
They were always there to tap you on the shoulder and
Say "now don't do it again".
Big Guys...

I miss you now that you're not there
