JOSIE (Don?t Be A Fool) - Music/Lyrics D. Muma

a girl of wasted dreams washed up from the coast,
time travelin', gypsy queen, a lonely lover's host,
settled down in a desert town, packed up for the night,
another year of chasin? life, another dead end oversight,
josie i'm not lookin' for you, your days of love are through-----

met her working in the factory, runnin' the test tank line,
seemed to be one to choose her own, she could stop lovin? on a dime,
she caged her tender ways, like a bear trap baited sweet,
a desert motel, a city suite, her tracks traced on the street,
with her life a swingin' door, i thought she turned to me for more-----

don't be a fool, josie, take this chance,
let your heart learn desire, make it last,
don't run with fear and hope in hand,
let your restless pleasures end---

passed a few of our working days talking over brown bag dreams,
i watched her work, i watched her move, through the mid day steam,
threw my heart at her one night as we walked up and down the tracks,
she broke down and lashed at love, a cold reflection of the past
tried to change her tears that day, she only ran away---

don't be a fool, josie, take this chance,
let your heart learn desire, make it last,
don't run with fear and hope in hand,
let your restless pleasures end---


BREAK/SOLO

miles away her mother hurts at home, the letters make her feel alone,
a hopeful look out the front porch door, a tremble to a ringin' phone,
another note as you leave his room,
a selfish mind leaves its lasting wounds---

don't be a fool, josie, take this chance,
let your heart learn desire, make it last,
don't run with fear and hope in hand,
let your restless pleasures end---
