[Verse 1]

Bobby ruled the court like a king on a throne
Dropping buckets
Breaking ankles
He stood alone
Forty points a night
Crowds screamed his name
In the spotlight’s glow
He burned like a flame

[Chorus]

But oh, Bobby B-Ball
How high you could fly
Till the stars in the sky seemed jealous
Seemed shy
Oh, Bobby B-Ball
The hero we’d call
Now the world’s so quiet since your last great fall

[Verse 2]

Summer sun
A lake so blue and deep
Diving headfirst
Chasing dreams in a leap
But the water whispered no
It wasn’t kind
Left his body broken
Trapped his dreams behind

[Prechorus]

He stares at the hoop
But it’s so far away
The echoes of cheers haunt him every day

[Chorus]

Oh, Bobby B-Ball
How high you could fly
Now the rim’s just a memory
A tear in the eye
Oh, Bobby B-Ball
The legend still stands
In the hearts of a town with empty hands

[Bridge]

Wheelchairs don’t dunk
But they still roll strong
He’s coaching kids now
Teaching right from wrong
The game he once owned
It still holds his heart
Even grounded
Bobby’s still playing his part

[Prechorus]

Wheels now spin where sneakers raced
Dreams reshape
But they’re not erased
