[Verse 1] Got my bags by the front door, Bus leaves out before the sun. She hugged me tight and said she’d wait, Said we’d be good when this was done. Two weeks later I’m halfway around the world, Living off bad coffee and no damn sleep. Then a buddy sends me a picture and a text: “Brother… you ain’t gonna like this shit.” There’s Jody on my front porch, Holding my dog like he’s owned him for years. Sitting in my damn chair, Drinking my beer. [Pre-Chorus] Man, every time we leave, That bastard shows up. Like he got a damn alert The second the buses pull out. [Chorus] Jody’s back again, Running his mouth all over town. Acting like he’s some kind of hero While I’m gone getting beat down. Jody’s back again, Smiling that stupid grin. And if she let his ass through the front door, Then they deserve each other in the end. [Verse 2] He’s driving my truck, Wearing my hoodie, Posting pictures like he’s king shit. Meanwhile I’m sleeping in dirt, Taking orders, And wondering why my phone got real damn quiet. Funny how she’s suddenly busy, Funny how the calls got short. Funny how every excuse sounds the same When somebody else is warming your side of the porch. [Pre-Chorus] Everybody knows a Jody. Hell, every unit’s got a story. Different face, same bullshit, Different town, same damn warning. [Chorus] Jody’s back again, Running his mouth all over town. Acting like he’s some kind of hero While I’m gone getting beat down. Jody’s back again, Smiling that stupid grin. And if she let his ass through the front door, Then they deserve each other in the end. [Bridge] Truth is… The more I thought about it, The less pissed off I got. You didn’t make her cheat. You just showed me who the hell she really was. And that’s worth something. Hell… Maybe that’s worth a damn lot. [Final Chorus] Jody’s back again, Doing what he’s always done. Showing up where he ain’t wanted, Looking for somebody’s fun. Jody’s back again, But I ain’t losing sleep. Because a woman worth keeping Actually keeps her word when I leave. Jody’s back again, And this might sound insane, But if she folded that damn fast, You probably saved me years of pain. [Breakdown] So thanks, Jody. Seriously. Thanks for sitting in my chair. Thanks for drinking my beer. Thanks for finding out what kind of woman she was While I was halfway around the damn world. Could’ve been a mortgage. Could’ve been a wedding. Could’ve been twenty years of bullshit. Instead it was six months and a lesson learned. [Guitar Break] Whoa-oh-oh… Whoa-oh-oh… Everybody knows a Jody… Whoa-oh-oh… And every unit’s got a story… [Final Chorus] Jody’s back again, Smiling that stupid grin. But this time when I think about it, I almost have to thank him. Jody’s back again, The patron saint of bad decisions. The undefeated champion Of exposing shitty relationships. Jody’s back again, Doing what he’s always done. Showing up where he ain’t wanted, Looking for somebody’s fun. Jody’s back again, And I finally understand. If she jumped ship that damn easy, She was never really my woman. [Outro] So here’s to the good women Holding it down while we’re gone. Here’s to the soldiers Missing birthdays, holidays, and sleep. And here’s to Jody… You opportunistic son of a bitch. You stole my girl. But looking back… You can keep her. [Fade Out Gang Vocals] Jody… You can keep her… Jody… You can keep her… Take the truck, Take the hoodie, Take the drama too… Jody… Buddy… You can damn well keep her.
