From the recordings A Heart So Rare and Josephine
Lyrics
Loudmouths at the bar talking politics
Grandma in the corner putting on her lipstick
An Old juke box and a country song
“You win again”… No-and- Hank’s not wrong
So don’t kick me when I’m down Josephine
Don’t feeling going home, (cause Jo) you’re not there
I can almost hear you say, “who said life was fair”?
The lights are low, and they shout last call
I think I might-just-have…one more
Don’t kick me when I’m down Josephine
You told me you were sorry things turned out this way
But I was driving you insane with my selfish ways
Facing the facts such a bitter pill
A fall from grace on my way down hill
So don’t kick me when I’m down Josephine
I’m not looking for another chance
We danced our last dance
The writing’s…on the wall
They say that time heals all and they’re not wrong
But I’ve been hanging by a thread… since you been gone
Once there was a home and a beating heart
Walking away is the hardest part
So don’t kick me when I’m down Josephine
No, don’t kick me when I’m down Josephine
