Josie Lyrics - Kris Kristofferson

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.
