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. Instead of using the version Bill Parsons did later, the record company, Fraternity Records, decided to use the original demo done by Bobby Bare. The record reached number 2 on the Billboard Top 100, but it was wrongly credited to Bill Parsons.

How About You Lyrics

Bobby Bare

Some people worry bout tomorrow well all my worried days are through
Cause I just got mine all together how about you girl how about you
Those loose ends have really been a draggin'
Since the day you said that we were through
But I managed to get mine all together how about you babe how about you
How about your life back home with mama
Do you miss those things you've grown and accustomed to
Well I just thought I'd call to let you know I'm doing fine
And findin' lots of different things to do how about you girl how about you

Well sometimes as I sit here a thinking about those silly things we used to do
And it stirs up some old familiar feelings now how about you girl how about you
Yeah how about your life back home...
How about you girl how about you how about you girl how about you
