about

Well, folks, gather 'round and let me tell you 'bout "Bobby Zimmerman" by Cozi anda Flounder. This mesmerizing Americana folk rock ballad takes you back to the days when I was just a young lad known as Bobby Zimmerman, long before I left my Minnesota roots.

Through the heartfelt lens of Echo, a girl left behind, the song spins a tale of what might've been if I had stayed with her instead of hittin' the road to New York City, chasing dreams and Woody Guthrie. Picture a small-town love affair against the backdrop of Deluth, with its lingering echoes of a bygone era.

With its ambient, dusty vibes and lyrics that tug at the heartstrings, "Bobby Zimmerman" captures the essence of missed chances and the eternal power of music.

It pays homage to my own journey while weaving a web of untold possibilities and the nostalgia that accompanies them. So, friends, take a listen and let the melodies transport you to a time when choices and destinies hung in the balance. — RZ

lyrics

Deluth Minnesota
I recall that's where your from
Hitched a ride to New York City
Bound for glory with a song
All the world would sing along
Northern girls won't be alone
What if that boy from Minnesota
Never left his hibbing home

There'd be Me and Dan
And Bobby Zimmerman
Next to Me
Our hearts freewheelin'

On the floor playing records
Did Jimmy Rogers steal a kiss
Just a year they said you're gone
It's the music that I miss
If all the world would sing along
This northern girl will be alone
What if that boy from Minnesota
Never left his girl alone

There'd be Me and Dan
And Bobby Zimmerman
Next to Me
Our hearts freewheelin'
On to Guthery
Who left his echo
Now I'm the California
You're the New York Island

Running down the road
20 below
Talk all night
Say I look like Bardot
You'll go your way
I'll go mine
But you took my heart

It'd be Me and Dan
And Bobby Zimmerman
Next to Me
Our hearts Freewheelin'
On to Guthery
Who left his echo
Now I'm the California
You're the New York Island

I'm the California
You're the New York Island
I'm the California
You're the New York Island
I'm the California
You're the New York Island
I'm the California
You're the New York Island
