Josephine was proud and strong Not ashamed from where she came Money don't mean anything To her we're all to blame There must be some way outta here Somewhere far away I'm gonna do the best I can If only for a day She said oh... So far away from home She said oh... So far away from home She woke up to the city lights Far away from home She can't believe she really left She knew she was alone From hotel room to hotel room From bar to dancing stage She cried herself to sleep at night inside her gilded cage She said oh... So far away from home She said oh... So far away from home I remember yes I remember Those fields so cold and so blue I'll take you with me So far away I can dream and you can dream too A young girl needs to have some fun Any way she can You can lose your innocence quite quickly by the gram From sleazy bar to sleazy bar Then you're on the street Remembering the promises That you failed to keep She said oh... So far away from home She said oh... So far away from home As the years go quickly by Lines begin to show And all the dreams you had before No one will ever know Too old to play the dancing game Too young to give it up You never get a second glance No money in the cup She said oh... So far away from home She said oh... So far away from home
