Josephine

Never knew I could trust you
But I damn sure wanted to
Paralyzed by your pale green eyes
Hanging on your words like most men do
Water under the bridge
Why can't we fix this?
This barn looks abused
Josephine, my dream, why can't you just be true?
Tell me, Josephine

Downtown across the railroad tracks
Where the streetlights don't shine
Same place you spent up all your money
Now you're back here spending mine
Can't make sense of this
What brought us back to it?
Is the stealing really worth that high?
Josephine, my dream, was the grass really green this time?
Tell me, Josephine
Josephine

Bet you're thinking that your backdoor man's
Running off to live by now
Turns out you showed him just where to dig
His own grave behind this house
Ten years worth of work buried in that dirt
Thinking I'd let it just walk on out
Josephine, my dream, what have you done now?
Tell me, Josephine
Josephine

Josephine
