Ode to Josephine Songtext

von Mika Urbaniak

Josephine was proud and strong
Not ashamed from where she came
Money don't mean anything
To her we're all to blame
There must be some way outta here
Somewhere far away
I'm gonna do the best I can
If only for a day

She said oh…
So far away from home
She said oh…
So far away from home

She woke up to the city lights
Far away from home
She can't believe she really left
She knew she was alone
From hotel room to hotel room
From bar to dancing stage
She cried herself to sleep at night inside her gilded cage

She said oh…
So far away from home
She said oh…
So far away from home

I remember yes I remember
Those fields so cold and so blue
I'll take you with me
So far away
I can dream and you can dream too

A young girl needs to have some fun
Any way she can
You can lose your innocence quite quickly by the gram
From sleazy bar to sleazy bar
Then you're on the street
Remembering the promises
That you failed to keep

She said oh…
So far away from home
She said oh…
So far away from home

As the years go quickly by
Lines begin to show
And all the dreams you had before
No one will ever know
Too old to play the dancing game
Too young to give it up
You never get a second glance
No money in the cup

She said oh…
So far away from home
She said oh…
So far away from home
