"Jodie" lyrics

"Jodie"

There's a girl that I used to know
She made me smile but her hand I could not hold
Moving on, going nowhere
And through the years as she's passing through
I get to thinking, maybe she feels this too
Moving on, going nowhere

But every time I hear her name
My thoughts go runnin' through those streets again
Where all the faces stay the same
'Cos when word gets around, you're back in town

Jodie, haven't you heard?
Well, I know my story sounds absurd
You got me hanging on all of your words
What would it take to be
You're makin' this hard for me
Recall the memories
Running outta time
You got me right between my eyes

There's a place we all used to go
We'd laugh together but that place is there no more
Moving, on going nowhere

'Cos if I had those days again
I'd trade a thousand good times to make you stay
I don't care for what they say
When word gets around, you're with me now
