Holed up in a motel east of KC
Northeast bound and the windows down
Yankee roots calling me
No idea what I's doing here
Hammer and a cigarette
My buddy arrived in the nick of time
Was a shoulder to forget
Josephine do you see yourself in me
All this in between is the only thing you wanted
To punish my dreams sweet Josephine
I was headfirst in the shallows
While you burned it at one end
No amount of time could change your mind
We was holding on to threads
Went back to dropping timber
And dying in between my sheets
Ain't no love like the way it was
And them days were on repeat
Josephine do you see yourself in me
All this in between is the only thing you wanted
To punish my dreams sweet Josephine
A life well lived in exchange for mine
I died a thousand deaths to find
A way back to the shell of who I was
Boarded up now given my due
Spent a lifetime in limbo because of you
You'll never have to wonder
The day your guilt collides
Lay alone under this stone
On the other side
Josephine do you see yourself in me
All this in between is the only thing you wanted
To punish my dreams sweet Josephine
Sweet Josephine
Sweet Josephine
