Jody & Red
Jody and Red had a mutual attraction
But in their life of love, there was one distraction
Seems they just couldn't get it right
And boy, oh, boy did they love to fight
Red came home late Saturday night
The house was dark, not even one light
Seems Jody wasn't where she said she'd be
So Red headed into town to have a look-see
Well, let me just tell you one thing son
Bein' in love ain't always fun
Sometimes you're better off stayin' home
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Red walked out into the flickering streetlights
And saw a city boy, holding Jody too tight
He went over and grabbed her by the hand
City boy turned and said "Whatchu doing, man?"
Red's eyes burned like the coals of hell
And everyone saw it wasn't gonna end well,
City boy smiled and drew his knife
But Red's 45 barked and ended his life
Well, let me just tell you one thing son
Bein' in love ain't always fun
Sometimes you're better off stayin' home
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Sirens sounding and they tried to run
But they didn't get far and Red drew his gun
He screamed, "I ain't going back to jail?"
And the bullets flew and Red staggered and fell
In all the confusion Jody disappeared
She hasn't been seen for many years
Sometimes I drive by the house late at night
It's always dark not even a light
Well, let me just tell you one thing son
Bein' in love ain't always fun
Sometimes you're better off stayin' home
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
But in their life of love, there was one distraction
Seems they just couldn't get it right
And boy, oh, boy did they love to fight
Red came home late Saturday night
The house was dark, not even one light
Seems Jody wasn't where she said she'd be
So Red headed into town to have a look-see
Well, let me just tell you one thing son
Bein' in love ain't always fun
Sometimes you're better off stayin' home
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Red walked out into the flickering streetlights
And saw a city boy, holding Jody too tight
He went over and grabbed her by the hand
City boy turned and said "Whatchu doing, man?"
Red's eyes burned like the coals of hell
And everyone saw it wasn't gonna end well,
City boy smiled and drew his knife
But Red's 45 barked and ended his life
Well, let me just tell you one thing son
Bein' in love ain't always fun
Sometimes you're better off stayin' home
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Sirens sounding and they tried to run
But they didn't get far and Red drew his gun
He screamed, "I ain't going back to jail?"
And the bullets flew and Red staggered and fell
In all the confusion Jody disappeared
She hasn't been seen for many years
Sometimes I drive by the house late at night
It's always dark not even a light
Well, let me just tell you one thing son
Bein' in love ain't always fun
Sometimes you're better off stayin' home
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
Knowing nothing and drinking alone
