Josie

Josie - Kris Kristofferson

Written by：Kris Kristofferson/Fred Foster

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

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

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
