Josie
Reckless Tales: Josie's Journey Beyond Limits
Lyrics
Josie took a cab out of town
Josie leaves town in a cab.
And then she turned it around
She changes her mind and returns.
She said "they'll never let me leave this place"
Josie feels trapped and thinks she can't leave.
She gave the cabbie her money
She pays the cab driver but advises him not to look down.
And said "don't look down"
The cabbie is puzzled by her statement.
He didn't have a clue what she was talkin' about
He doesn't understand what she means.
All the locals know her as Jo
Locals know her as Jo.
She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes
Jo drinks Manhattans and dresses in men's clothing.
She likes to get high when she's low
She seeks highs when feeling low.
And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all
Josie enjoys breaking boys' hearts for fun.
Josie rides closely to the line
Josie lives on the edge.
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
She's trying to survive while being high.
Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes
Born with trouble in her eyes.
Josie rides closely to the line
Josie lives on the edge.
Go Josie go, go Josie go
Encouragement for Josie to go forward.
Johnnie cut a deal for an album, that he never put out
Johnnie made a deal for an unreleased album.
He's got a place and a bed, for when he's coming down
He has a place for when he's down.
Josie sees something, that he don't see in himself
Josie sees something in Johnnie that he doesn't.
And now she looks the other way, when he's fucking around
She ignores his infidelity.
All the locals say they don't know
Locals are puzzled by her fast lifestyle.
Why she lives so fast, and she moves so slow
Questioning why she lives fast and moves slow.
Josie rides closely to the line
Josie continues to live on the edge.
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
Struggling to survive while being high.
Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes
She was born with trouble in her eyes.
Josie rides closely to the line
Josie continues to live on the edge.
Go Josie go
Encouragement for Josie to go forward.
It's okay, don't change
An affirmation to remain as she is.
Just throw it all away
Encouragement to discard everything.
It's okay, don't change
An affirmation to remain as she is.
Just throw it all away
Encouragement to discard everything.
Go Josie go, go Josie go
Encouragement for Josie to go forward.
Just throw it all away
Encouragement to discard everything.
It's okay, don't change
An affirmation to remain as she is.
Go Josie go
Encouragement for Josie to go forward.
All the locals know her as Jo
Locals know her as Jo.
She drinks Manhattans and wears gentlemen's clothes
Jo drinks Manhattans and dresses in men's clothing.
She likes to get high when she's low
She seeks highs when feeling low.
And break the hearts of boys for the fun of it all
Josie enjoys breaking boys' hearts for fun.
Josie rides closely to the line
Josie continues to live on the edge.
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
Struggling to survive while being high.
Born with a little bit of trouble in her eyes
She was born with trouble in her eyes.
Josie rides closely to the line
Josie continues to live on the edge.
Go Josie go
Encouragement for Josie to go forward.
Josie rides closely to the line (go Josie go)
Josie continues to live on the edge.
She's high and, she's tryin' to survive
Struggling to survive while being high.
Go Josie go
Encouragement for Josie to go forward.
Go Josie go
