Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Lemme tell y'all a story about Jody now

Every guy I know tryin' to get ahead

Workin' two jobs till you're almost dead

Work you fingers right down to the bone

There's a cat named Jody sneakin' around in your home

[Verse 2]

There's a cat named Jody in every town

Spendin' lots of cash and just ridin' around

Ride on Jody, ride on, ride on

With your bad self

[Verse 3]

Jody leave ashes in your ashtray

Foot prints on your carpet while you work all day

He even got the nerve to sleep in your bed

Sit down at your table and eat your bread

[Verse 4]

When you get home after workin' hard all day

Jody's got your girl and he's gone away

[Verse 5]

I said now

Ain't no sense in goin' home

I tell ya

Jody's got your girl and gone

You gotta get home but you work too hard

Ooh, ooh

You gotta get home but you work too hard

Hey now

[Verse 6]

Ain't no sense in goin' home

I told ya

Jody's got your girl and gone

[Verse 7]

When you discover your gross neglect

It'll be too late to give your woman respect

You'll hunt down Jody, dead or alive

Ten thousand dollar reward for Jody's hide

[Verse 8]

Ain't no sense in goin' home

Jody's got your gal and gone

Ain't no sense in goin' home

I'm gonna tell ya

Jody got your gal and gone

[Verse 9]

The freedom I know one day

Gone and took my gal, I said he took her away

Had enough sense, uh, to express herself

Look here, you told her how good she looked

You told her how cute she was

You told her how pretty she talk

[Verse 10]

Ain't no sense in you goin' home

'Cause you don't have everything you got

Will sho' be gone

You know what I'm talkin about
