Biography
Bobby Pinson was born August 10, 1972 in Tulsa, Oklahoma but raised in the Panhandle, Texas. Influenced by poet and songwriter Shel Silverstein, Pinson began entering writing and storytelling contests, and by high school, he began writing songs as well, citing Johnny Cash, Bruce Springsteen and Steve Earle as influences. Because his father was a football coach, Pinson was moved throughout the state of Texas, and played football himself in high school.
"If Something Should Happen" is a song written by Dave Turnbull, Jim Brown and Dan Demay, and recorded by American country music artist Darryl Worley. It was released in February 2005 as the second single from his self-titled album. It peaked at #9 on Billboard magazine's Hot Country Songs chart for the chart week of June 5, 2005.

Me and Billy Joe Taylor joined each other at the hip I loved him like the brother I never had He was my go-to-guy on 3rd and 10, made me look good at the quarterback. Texas had a man in the stands the night we beat the Panthers Said they had a spot for both of us that next fall We were ridin' high on pride and big time futures Small town paper said we had it all Chorus: Up until the night me and Billy Joe drank way too much for Blue Buck Road "born to be wild" on the radio, god I still hate that song Both of us died there in that crash But I lived to wish I had that night back After that football didn't mean that much But until then, I thought that's who I was Daddy had a hardware store where hard work was his livin' Peddelin' the hammers that built this town I broke his heart that summer, I told him what I wasn't planin' How to sell the nails by the pound Spent my last paycheck on an RC and a Greyhound A front seat to the world I'd never seen I got a job, got a girl, had some cash and world in my pocket Thought I'd found my place in the great machine Chorus: Up until the night I got the call Mama said daddy didn't feel nothin' at all She broke down at the fellowship hall said baby we need you here with us I told my boss to wish me the best, I told my girl she wish we never met but I don't regret what I gave up Cause until then I thought that's who I was. I drove straight through some twist and turns Went through some crash and burns Stumbled through some lessons learned with the weight on my shoulders Went around the world to find the girl god had in mind Gave me a better love than the one I scratched up But until then I thought that's who I was
