Lyrics
Josie works the counter at the downtown five and dimeAnything at all to help her pass the timeHer mama keeps the baby and grandpa rambles onAbout the good times playing in his mind
It’s a hard life living when you’re lonelyIt’s a long night sleeping aloneIt’s a hard time waiting for tomorrowIt’s a long, long way home
Josie spends the evening with the people in the pagesOf the paperback she picked up in the storeOr sometimes it’s the TV or she’ll try to write a letterBut they don’t come too often anymore
It’s a hard life living when you’re lonelyIt’s a long night sleeping aloneIt’s a hard time waiting for tomorrowIt’s a long, long way home
And I stare at the gray walls before meAnd I see her face in the stoneAnd I try to imagine our babyAnd I wish they would let me go homeAnd I wish they would let me go homeAnd I wish they would let me go home
It’s a hard life living when you’re lonelyAnd I wish they would let me go homeIt’s a long night sleeping aloneAnd I wish they would let me go homeIt’s a hard time waiting for tomorrowAnd I wish they would let me go homeIt’s a long, long way homeAnd I wish they would let me go homeIt’s a long, long way homeAnd I wish they would let me go homeBring me and the other boys homeAnd I wish they would let me go homeBring me and the other boys homeAnd I wish they would let me go homeBring me and the other boys home
Lol! Too friggin’ funny! Should go under the heading of “Be careful what you wish for!”
