Lyrics

Jodi and the Boys
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
I stood and watched you board that train
there was nothing I could do
through the window, pain and tears you waved goodbye
I watched that train fade out of sight
I couldn’t breath I couldn’t move
I wasn’t sure if I was still alive
(Verse 2)
I sat down on that cold hard bench
guess I should have brought a coat
I just stared at those tracks you left behind
the stars were bright the night was clear
but there was fire in my throat
and the three of you still burning in my mind
(Chorus)
God it’s all over but I can’t get off my knees
‘cause on the other side of pain they say there’s joy
God if your listening you gotta help me make it through
and God take care of Jodi and the boys
(Verse 3)
Friday night I made the call I just had to say hello
to the one’s that make my life worth living for
Dad we sure are missing you why did we have to go?
Here’s mom hope we see you really soon
(Verse 4)
yes I mailed the check last week it’s the least that I can do
I can’t imagine how you do it all alone
then you said you thought things through said you were coming home
I started trembling as I hung up the phone
(Chorus)
God it’s not over but I can’t get off my knees
cause on the other side of pain I found the joy
God if your listening you know you really pulled me through
They’re coming back my Jodi and the boys
God if your listening I’m gonna make it up to you
Cause I’ll take care of Jodi and the boys
