Josie — текст песни (Kris Kristofferson)

Ive been chasing after josie since the day I could run

Even though I didnt 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 youve 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 Ive 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 roads a little colder every time that I leave

For another empty place Ive never been

And I dont suppose its likely that shes lookin for me

But someday I may just chase her down again.



Chorus:

Josie, is it true that youve 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
