Lyrics

Empty bottles and broken glass
All of my memories are comin' back
I saw your face tonight, but it's fadin' fast
It never lasts while I'm here
Not while I'm here
And it's just so hard on the telephone
Can't really say when I'll be comin' home
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
'Cause I pray she's still there down in New Orleans
And there's one more thing I'd love to do
To get one more chance to be with you, Josephine
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
A long time away from you, now I'm not sure
If your light still burns for me
Music just keeps pulling me
And there is no cure for the way I feel for you
The way I feel for you
And it's just so hard on the telephone
Can't really say when I'll be comin' home
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
'Cause I pray she's still there down in New Orleans
And there's one more thing I'd love to do
To get one more chance to be with you, Josephine
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
'Cause I pray she's still there down in New Orleans
And there's one more thing I'd love to do
To get one more chance to be with you, Josephine
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
Lord, help me to get back to Josephine
