Kris Kristofferson - Josie Lyrics
I've been chasing after Josie since the day I could run
Even though I didn't know it at the time
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind.
On her way to be a woman of the world
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl.
[Chorus:]
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own.
Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place I've never been
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
But someday I may just chase her down again.
[Chorus:]
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

Kris Kristofferson Josie Comments
Awesome thank you
Are the other 2 guitar players named on the original source material?
@Fred Durst A fan in our group asked & I said I would try to find out. Or did you mean Y for yes?
One of the greatest
I love this song and the album it came from. Underated. The sound could be better but this is a great vid.
Super rare! Thank you for sharing.
Love seeing Kris, Donnie, Terry and Stephen and Rita as they appeared when I first saw them in concert in 1972. The Border Lord album, incidentally gives me the strongest memories of their harmonies onstage.
Your lucky to have seen them Marcia at such an incredible time in their careers, I absolutely love that album ,and Rita is so beautiful.
I know you posted this a year ago, but this music will never die
Kris did not have a beard in the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. This must have been after he was in Peru with Dennis Hopper for making "The last movie". As I read in a comment, this is in Caerleon, South Wales, UK
yes, that's what I wanted to type, he DID not have a beard at the Isle of Wight... 😃
...I will correct my comment as soon as I get to my pc. It's not possible to correct a comment on the tablet 😣
love Kris looks good ,sounds good and sure does write good .Must be so as I listen to him every day and have been for 50 years.
Thank you for the great research , i bet there must be somewhere a whole film from this performance, i have only 3 songs ....
done :-)
Great vid! Thanks for sharing! Definitely not Isle of Wight, which was 1970, and Kris didn't have a beard then!
Incredible♡
