Bobby Goes Electric

Unreleased. An outtake from 21 At 33. A Bob Dylan tribute.

Lyrics:
It might have been Ibiza But it could have been the coast of Spain On a clapped-out continental radio I thought I heard his name But I was just another hippie then With my copy of Rolling Stone In a kickback full of hashish That I was trying to smuggle home

chorus:

And where were you When you knew Where were you When you heard The day that Bobby went electric How did you receive the word

There was years of independence Put a meaning on the words "hard rain" In a rundown beachfront arcade I heard How the times have changed

I was thrown in jail in Tangiers With a couple from Montreal Who'd been working their way to London To see the plug-in at the Albert Hall

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)

The day that Bobby went electric I was struggling through my teens And when he plugged in up at Newport I was caught up in a dream

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus)
