I think in the second stanza it's "You always landed on your feet in the past."

Drive-By Truckers – Bob Lyrics 12 years ago
Song describes my uncle completely. He's not gay. I assume most people with southern family's has a "Bob."

They want to be left alone for the most part, don't really have friends, are usually the family member who stays and takes care of his mother after his dad dies. He's essentially the guy who forgoes his life to take care of a family member, but that's not a big deal because he didn't want the "typical" life anyway.

Bob knows he's different, but it's not because he's gay. I think Cooley makes that pretty clear with the news portion:

"Ain't none of it new it's the same as before
He figures all any of it's any good for's
Keepin' everybody bored till there ain't nobody
Like Bob anymore"

Drive-By Truckers – The Purgatory Line Lyrics 14 years ago
I always read this as being the wife in the family that was murdered in "Two Daughters and a Beautiful Wife". Two Daughters... is definitely the narrator telling the story of the husband making it to Heaven, and for some reason his wife is caught in the purgatory line.

I have no reason other than listening to it to have this interpretation, but it keeps with the theme they set our previously in the record.
