Goodbye, Josephine

In high school you were the envy of all the guys/
They dreamed of caressin’ your curves and turnin’ you on /
But it was a boy like me who had the key to make you mine
I was so proud, never thought about the day you’d be gone
But I understand now that I’m a man why we’re movin’ on

Chorus:

Goodbye, Josephine / I’ve got great memories /
Of goin’ down the road with you / of being young / and feelin’ free /
You and me together / felt like destiny /
It’s so hard for me / to say goodbye, Josephine./

All the girls would say when we drove by on Friday nights /
That you were too fast for me and way too smoothe /
They were secretly wishing they were you by my side
Givin’ all those girl crazed teenage boys the blues./
There’ll never be another dreamboat like you

Bridge:

I hate to leave you here in this auto yard
But your doors don’t open and your engine don’t start
I’ll try not to cry when you get sold for parts
But think of our glory days and stay young at heart
