Josie

Josie took a cab out of town and then she turned it around

She said, "They'll never let me leave this place"

She gave the cabbie her money and said, "Don't look down"

He didn't have a clue what she was talkin' about

All the locals know her as Jo

She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes

She likes to get high when she's low

And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all

Josie rides closely to the line

She's high and, she's tryin' to survive

Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes

Josie rides closely to the line

Go Josie go

Go Josie go

Johnnie cut a deal for an album, that he never put out

He's got a place and a bed, for when he's coming down

Josie sees something, that he don't see in himself

And now she looks the other way, when he's fucking around

All the locals say they don't know

Why she lives so fast, and she moves so slow

Josie rides closely to the line

She's high and, she's tryin' to survive

Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes

Josie rides closely to the line

Go Josie go

It's okay, don't change

Just throw it all away

It's okay, don't change

Just throw it all away

Go Josie go, go Josie go

Just throw it all away

It's okay, don't change

Go Josie go

All the locals know her as Jo

She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes

She likes to get high when she's low

And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all

Josie rides closely to the line

She's high and, she's tryin' to survive

Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes

Josie rides closely to the line

Go Josie go

Josie rides closely to the line (Go Josie go)

She's high and, she's tryin' to survive (Go Josie go)
