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