"Jody Boy" by Don't Blame Jack

A Jody Boy is the guy who's back home, messing around with your girl and living an easy life while you are serving in the military away from her. Not right.

LYRICS ----
Here I am off at war, Jody boys lining up at your door
Will you resist the love of this man while I'm fighting in the sand?
You said love that you'd stay true, until i made it home safe to you
Jody Boy is busting in, kissing you while you're studying

Chorus:
Oh god where's the love you said would never leave?
Oh god where's the heart you said would beat for me?
Oh god where's the love you said would be forever?
Its gone gone baby and its never coming back.

Verse 2:
Over here the war is crazy, over there your heart's just lazy
Over here my friends are dying, over there you just keep lying
Oh Jody boy turns down your lights; grabs, takes, and holds you tight
Fire fights are taking lives every single day and night

Chorus:
Oh god where's the love you said would never leave?
Oh god where's the heart you said would beat for me?
Oh god where's the love you said would be forever?
Its gone gone baby and its never coming back.

Bridge:
Bombs are falling down
Bullets are cutting my friends down
Smoke is all around
Bullets flying, friends are dying, friends are dying

Chorus:
Oh god where's the love you said would never leave?
Oh god where's the heart you said would beat for me?
Oh god where's the love you said would be forever?
Its gone gone baby and its never coming back.

@myblisslikeWOW...thanks so very much! I can get those lyrics up just as soon as they are done. This song is just a baby....needs to grow up a little before it's fully cooked!

I didn't know what a "jody boy" was. Thanks for the explanation.

It's a tight and powerful song Jack.

I like how you say " This song is just a baby....needs to grow up a little before it's fully cooked".

Funny how we have feelings like that about music. It seems to live a life of its own after a point.

Your band is solid and a good unit.

At the bridge you say bombs are falling down. Well, you are getting from here to there in your dreams and that's so good! The bridge carries you!

Small, pathetic attempt at humour there, not to diminish any - get it?

Best!
