Jody
I've seen some birds head south flying
as they hear the north wind crying
and those wingers sure can cover a lot of ground.
I thought I had a mate who rode my beat
but then Jody flew away from me
and where she landed I did not find out.
I felt a lift when I met Jody
and as just friends we went rolling.
Rambling with her always felt so very good
and then one day our two lips touched
and I started calling her my love,
hoping that from then on I always would.
Maybe I could find Jody
by the way those birds are going
but I don't have the kind of wings they do
so I cannot go where those flyers went
and I will never make the rainbow bend.
The dream of finding her did not come true.
There's a lyric video of this song which you can find here. The rough cut video was posted on YouTube on 11/8/11 - click here to watch that video. The lyrics below match that video.
Jody
I've seen the south birds flying
as they hear the north wind crying.
By this time tomorrow they'll be far away.
Jody was the one that I
thought I could tell tomorrow by.
Watch her fly and she's gone with yesterday.
Could I find her again?
Could I find the rainbow's end
bending with every singing drop of rain?
I could walk a thousand miles
and still be the foolish child
who wanted to believe that she would stay.
What if I could find Jody
by the way those birds are going?
What if they could take me right to her?
In the spring they'll fly back north
to the places where they were before
but she has no reason to return.
