Jody Better Be Gone

Intro

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Jody moved in while I was gone

Wearing my cologne and my Sunday shirt

He's got his feet up on my porch

Sipping sweet tea while my girl cooks

(I said) Jody's got it easy

(Jody's got it easy)

He never stood a watch or a guard

Just sits and smiles in my front yard

Chorus

Jody back home Jody back home

(Jody back home)

Sleeping in my bed while I sleep alone

(While I sleep alone)

Jody back home Jody back home

I'm coming home soon Jody better be gone

Post-Chorus

Gone gone gone

(Gone gone gone)

Gone gone gone

(Jody better be gone)

Verse 2

My sergeant calls and I stand tall

Mud on my boots and a hundred more miles

Jody writes her letters now

Says the weather's fine and the garden grows

(I said) Jody thinks I'm far away

(Jody thinks I'm far away)

He don't know how fast I run

Don't know what this soldier's done

Chorus

Jody back home Jody back home

(Jody back home)

Sleeping in my bed while I sleep alone

(While I sleep alone)

Jody back home Jody back home

I'm coming home soon Jody better be gone

Post-Chorus

Gone gone gone

(Gone gone gone)

Gone gone gone

(Jody better be gone)

Bridge

Count the days and count the weeks

Count the promises he keeps

Count the miles between my feet and home

One more hill and one more night

One more sunrise burning bright

Jody's running when he sees me come

Chorus

Jody back home Jody back home

(Jody back home)

Sleeping in my bed while I sleep alone

(While I sleep alone)

Jody back home Jody back home

I'm coming home soon Jody better be gone

Post-Chorus

Gone gone gone

(Gone gone gone)

Gone gone gone

(Jody better be gone)
