Josie lyrics
by Kris Kristofferson



I've been chasing after josie since the day I could runEven though I didn't know it at the timeAnd I followed her from texas 'til she found me undoneJust a jump ahead of what I left behind.She was proud of her young body as a body could beOn her way to be a woman of the worldAnd I still can see her smiling as she gave it to meLookin' like a lonesome little girl.Chorus:Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your yearsSellin' them your sadness on the streetHow much did you lose between the laughter and the tearsGettin' back the bitter for the sweetWell, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lostWith the closest thing to love I've ever knownAnd she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to crossThen she went and burned some bridges of her own.Now the road's a little colder every time that I leaveFor another empty place I've never beenAnd I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for meBut someday I may just chase her down again.Chorus:Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your yearsSellin' them your sadness on the streetHow much did you lose between the laughter and the tearsGettin' back the bitter for the sweet
