Biography:
Bobby Bare (born Robert Joseph Bare on April 7, 1935 in Ironton, Ohio) is an American country music singer and songwriter.
In the fifties after many failed attempts to sell his songs, he finally was signed up with Capitol Records and recorded a few rock and roll songs without much chart success. Just before he was drafted into the Army, he wrote a song called 'The All American Boy' and did a demo for his friend, Bill Parsons, to learn and record it.

I guess I should have written dad to let you know that I was coming home
F
But I've been gone so many years I didn't realize you had a phone
C C7
I saw your cattle coming in and boy they're looking mighty fat and slick
F G7 C
I saw Fred at the service station he told me that his wife was awful sick
C7
You heard my record on the radio oh well it's just another song
F
But I've got a hit recorded dad it'll be out on the market 'fore too long
C C7
Oh I got this ring in Mexico you know it didn't cost me quite a bunch
F G7 C
When you're in the business that I'm in the people call it putting up a front
C7
I know I've lost a little weight and I guess I'm a looking kinda pale
F
If you didn't know me better Dad you'd think that I've just gotten out of jail
C C7
No we don't ever call 'em beer joints night clubs are the places where I work
F G7 C
You meet a lotta people there but no there ain't much chance of getting hurt
C7
I'm sorry that I couldn't be here with you all when momma passed away
F
I was on the road and when they came and told me it was just too late
C C7
I drove by the grave to see her and boy that really is a pretty stone
F G7 C
I'm glad that Fred and Jan are here it's better than you being here alone
C7
I knew you's gonna ask me who the lady is who's sleeping in the car
F
That's just the girl that works for me and man she plays a pretty mean guitar
C C7
We worked in San Antone last night she didn't even have the time to dress
C G7 C
She drove me in from Nashville and to tell the truth I guess she needs the rest
C7
Well dad I gotta go we got a dance to work in Cartersville tonight
F
Let me take your number down I'll call you and I promise you I'll write
C C7
Now you be good and don't be chasing all those pretty women that you know
C G7 C
And by the way if you see Barbara Walker tell her that I said hello
