|
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. |
|
Chorus: |
|
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. |
|
Chorus: |
|
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 |
