I moved out from the Bible Belt
And down to Silver Street
Victorian oasis in the afternoon
The place we always used to meet
The girls there, theyre all dressed in powder blue
Theyre always crawling through my hair
Jodie, shes as pretty as your mother used to be
With her dark lantern stare.
You just dont know.
You just dont know.
Black velvet jacket and a hat of antique lace
She moved down to Silver Street
Kisses like rings of the purest uncut gold
I couldnt help but see her face
The girl with the leather in her shoes
Shes always crawling through my hair
Jodie, shes as pretty as your mother used to be
Oh, as pretty as mother used to be.
You just dont know.
You just dont know.
I moved out from the Bible Belt
And down to Silver Street
Couldnt help but cry just to see her there
The place we always used to meet
The girls there, theyre all dressed in powder blue
Theyre always crawling through my hair Jodie,
shes as pretty as your mother used to be
As pretty as mother used to be
Just as pretty as we used to be
Were just as pretty as we used to be
Just you and me.
I moved out from the Bible Belt
And down to Silver Street
