The Glorious Sons - Josie lyrics

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 f**ing 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
