Well, Josie boy
The streets have not been too kind
to your runaway load
You've got me looking back on
all the years we had --
What could have triggered this road?
Josie, you won my heart and soul
Doing your dance across the danger line
I didn't understand what kind of things
can happen to the mind
Oh Josie boy, oh Josie boy
We'd roll on down those daredevil hills
From the day you were born
to the first songs we made
The way you played your guitar to the stars
more than my kid brother,
You were my best friend
Josie, you won my heart and soul
Doing your dance across the danger line
I didn't understand what kind of things
can happen to the mind.
Oh Josie boy, oh Josie boy
In the morning when you rise
And you tear those shackles
down from those skies
You won't find any clouds that cry
harder than I do
And you know I'll always love you
Well, Josie boy
The pages fill up my walls
with your poetry of pain
That's left you alone and nowhere to go
Still I'm counting on you
to round in the reins
Josie, you won my heart and soul
Doing your sance across the danger line
I didn't understand what kind of things
can happen to the mind
Oh Josie boy, oh Josie boy
Now and then, every once and a while
Your sharp wit makes me smile
The way it used to be
The way it used to be
