Words and music by bob seger


Jody girl, jody girl, spend your time today

Watching clocks spin the hours away.

Jody girl, you know the world's

Goin' around all day,

Thinking back to the things you used to say.

Didn't he put you on a pedestal,

When first you met?

Sure was some honeymoon,

Ain't it hard to forget?

What ever happened to that crazy boy

With the love light in his eyes?

Used to bring you flowers every day.


Now you sit here on a cloudy afternoon

Watchin' a soap opera on t.v.

Your old man's workin'

And your kids are out playin'

And you're not feelin' too free.

Keep thinkin' back, thinkin' back to high school,

Them high school days.

All those wild, wild times you had.

All those boy friends, boy friends knockin' on your door.


Jody girl, jody girl,

Spend your time today

Watchin' clocks spin the hours away.

Jody girl, you know the world's

Goin' by all day.

Thinkin' back to before you promised to stay.

Didn't he put you on a pedestal

When first you met?

Sure was some honeymoon -

Ain't it hard to forget?
