Jody finished high school
When he was just seventeen
He never done too good with grades
Never made the baseball team
Few knew much about him
He sorta kept off to himself
But he tried real hard
To keep a lid
On the pain he felt
He'd try to pretend
That nothing really bothered him back then
Turns out something did
Something really bothered him
Something really bothered him back then
It was about 7 on a Tuesday night
He called her up and took her out
For a little drive
He found some country back road
Pulled off to the side
She asked him what was on his mind
He just kept real quiet
He'd try to pretend
That nothing really bothered him back then
Turns out something did
Something really bothered him
Something really bothered him back then
He hopped out the pickup
Reached behind the seat
Called her name, said "look at what you've done to me"
He put that barrel in his mouth
Like he was sucking on a straw
Pulled the trigger with his thumb
Oh, the thing she saw
He tried to pretend
That nothing really bothered him back then
Turns out something did
Something really bothered him
Something really bothered him back then
