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 sh*** 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 sh*** 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
