Josie works the counter at the downtown five and dime Anything at all to help her pass the time Her mama keeps the baby and grandpa rambles on About the good times playing in his mind
It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely It's a long night sleepin' alone It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow It's a long, long way home
Josie spends the evening with the people in the pages Of the paperback she picked up in the store Or sometimes it's the tv or she'll try to write a letter But they don't come too often anymore
It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely It's a long night sleepin' alone It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow It's a long, long way home
And I stare at the gray walls before me And I see her face in the stone And I try to imagine our baby And I wish they would let me go home And I wish they would let me go home And I wish they would let me go home
It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely And I wish they would let me go home It's a long night sleepin' alone And I wish they would let me go home It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow And I wish they would let me go home It's a long, long way home And I wish they would let me go home It's a long, long way home And I wish they would let me go home Bring me and the other boys home And I wish they would let me go home Bring me and the other boys home And I wish they would let me go home Bring me and the other boys home
