[Verse 1]
Never knew I could trust you
Damn sure wanted to
Paralyzed by your pale green eyes
Hanging on your words, most men do
Water under the bridge, why can't we fix this?
At this point, what's the use?
Josephine, my dream, why can't you just be true?
Tell me, Josephine

[Verse 2]
Downtown across the railroad tracks
Where the sun don't shine
Same place you spun up all your money
Now you're back there spending mine
Can't make sense of this, what brought us back to it?
Is the stealing really worth that high?
Josephine, my dream, is the grass really green this time?
Tell me, Josephine

[Refrain]
Josephine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Bet you're thinking that your back door man's
Running awfully late by now
Turns out you showed him just where to dig
His own grave outside this house
Ten years worth of work buried in that dirt
Think I'd just let it walk on out?
Josephine my dream, what have you done now?
Tell me, Josephine
[Refrain]
Josephine

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Josephine
Josephine
