Jodie

Jodie

I swear it's my last time

I'll take what's in my prime

And give to you what's mine

Jodie

I won't do that shit tonight

You won't have to start a fight

Over doing whatever is right

I've always had the excuse

Of a long hard road

Sleeping in some Greyhounds

Along the Mother Lode

And so here we are

Going for the hard sell

Me fighting off the sick

You past wishing me well

Jodie

I love it when you fly

Into the stars as I

repay debts to my muse

Jodie

I know you're so concerned

But girl haven't you learned

That we all die alone

It's all I can do

To fight off that urge

The drunken voices tell me

As I run up in the church

When I do my finally lay down

With the bastards of the night

I won't see you pry my cold dead fingers

From the morning light

Jodie

I won't do that shit tonight

You won't have to start a fight

Over doing whatever is right

Jodie

I know you're so concerned

But girl haven't you learned

That we all die alone
