Thank You, Bobby Jam

Описание: This is the jam “Thank You, Bobby” is a heartfelt dedication to Bob Weir, honoring over six decades of musical stewardship, openness, and integrity. Rather than a memorial, the song stands as a living thank-you — recognizing the way Bobby let music breathe, evolve, and belong to everyone who stepped onto the road he helped keep open.

With affectionate nods to his barefoot presence, unmistakable stage style, and RatDog-era groove, the track carries gratitude without mythmaking. It reflects a philosophy of music as shared space — not frozen history, but a living line that continues forward.

Amp hum low, house lights dim
Old friends smiling, here we go again

You never played it straight or stiff
Left air around every riff
Let the song find its own damn way
Taught us time ain’t something you play

Bare feet dusted in stage light glow
Laugh in your eyes like you always know
You didn’t chase what fades with age
You stayed in the music, page by page

Thank you, Bobby, for the miles you gave
For the songs that bent but never caved
We’ll miss you barefoot, center stage
Still hear you laugh when the groove don’t behave

RatDog nights, that sideways swing
Where the quiet parts still said everything
You showed us older don’t mean done
Just means you choose each note more than once

Short shorts flashing under borrowed stars
No costume, no walls, no bars
Just a man and a song and a living line
That stretched long enough to carry time

Thank you, Bobby, for the road you left
Wide enough for all of us who stepped
We’ll miss you barefoot, grinning brave
Still feel your rhythm when the crowd waves

Some folks freeze the past in frames
You let it breathe, you let it change
If this is goodbye, it don’t feel final
It feels like the song just went instrumental

Thank you, Bobby, for sixty years
For the joy, the space, the crooked cheers
We’ll miss you barefoot, shorts on stage
But the music knows your name

Needle lifts, room still sways
Thank you, Bobby — see you in the next phrase

Thank you, Bobby
For the road you gave
Thank you, Bobby
For the space you made

Thank you, Bobby
Still hear you play
Thank you, Bobby
You showed the way
