Miss Josie wandered in
Her eyes shot through with a tripped out glaze
She was all dressed up in a Charleston skirt
And a smile that went to waste
Miss Josie was my love
When it stood for something real and true
And it all seemed more important then
Than it does to you or you
Yeah but oh God it's a thankless task
To retrieve her when she starts to drift
Oh God it's a thankless task
But it's one I'll have to live with
Back then she looked just like
She was too far out for the GTOs
But the path she took led her far away
Where no sane person goes
Yeah but oh God it's a thankless task
To retrieve her when she starts to drift
Oh God it's a thankless task
But it's one I'll have to live with
Miss Josie turned me on
To the waking dream and the perfect ride
And the words I spilt on the patchwork quilt
Still bind me to her side
Yeah but oh God it's a thankless task
To retrieve her when she starts to drift
Oh God it's a thankless task
But it's one I'll have to live with
Yes it's one I'll have to live with
