Sellin' them your sadness on the street
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears?
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
But someday I may just chase her down again
She was proud of her young body as a body could be
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone
For another empty place I've never been
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
On her way to be a woman of the world
