Josie — текст песни (Kristofferson Kris)

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
