JODY'S ON AN ISLAND

Jody's on an island with no cares inside her head...

gone from all connections, and the words that someone said...

pouring down her potions...prompting sunsets in the mind...

love's a softer lotion...at the same time, takes ya blind.



Nothing there worth keeping...it was worth the "run away"...

Packed up with Johnny sleeping...Can't you see she couldn't stay?

traveled all these miles...

just to come to rest her head

traveled all these miles...

just to clear her eyes of red.



Jody's on an island with no need to head back home...

further now the voices...and the one she called her own...

ten paces from the ocean...hanging out 'neath bluer skies...

love's a sweet devotion...at the same time, turns ya lies.



Nothing worth the taking...there were no words left to say...

That setting for replacing...now a lost, forgotten play...

traveled all these miles...

just to come to rest/soak her head

traveled all these miles...

just to clear her eyes of red.  

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It's not about giving up, it's about starting over. Ya know,...turning over a new leaf in life...escaping to another place.
