Curious
Little Bobby Norton
Disappeared that cold Winters night
No one saw it coming
But none were that surprised
There had always been the rumors
Floating round these parts for years
Still nothing does hit harder
Than a womans desperate tears
Rumors from the children
Spoke of haunted woods just past dusk
And the thing about little Bobby
Is he'd always been curious
The town brought in the trackers
Who showed up with hound dogs
Bringing assurance to the masses
They'd stop at no cost
With underlying whispers
They'd bring him back dead or alive
Spent the night looking for clues
Hoping for some sort of sign...
As I tell this story
Fourteen years have long gone past
They never did find Bobby
And sadly, he wasn't the last
You hear every so often
Another kid does not come home
Yet no one goes out searching
They've found it's best if left alone
All the parents can do is try
But sometimes it's not enough
Cause just like little Bobby Norton
Some kids are just curious
