I've been chasing after Josie since the day I could run |
|
Even though I didn't know it at the time |
|
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone |
|
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind |
|
She was proud of her young body as a body could be |
|
On her way to be a woman of the world |
|
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me |
|
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl |
|
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years |
|
Sellin' them your sadness on the street |
|
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears? |
|
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet |
|
Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost |
|
With the closest thing to love I've ever known |
|
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross |
|
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own |
|
Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave |
|
For another empty place I've never been |
|
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me |
|
But someday I may just chase her down again |
|
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years |
|
Sellin' them your sadness on the street |
|
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears |
|
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet |
