| 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

|
| Go Josie go
|
| Josie rides closely to the line
|
| She’s high and, she’s tryin' to survive
