"josephine county blues" lyrics

Things tend to get lost out in the hills here
Money, cars, and people, the years just disappear
And we all know that lady Josephine will kill you
But you're gonna die a millionaire

Everyone out here's looking for something
Sheriff knows if he comes around
They'll be dragging the rogue river Friday morning
I guess some buried treasure just ain't meant to be found

Josie sells her dime-bags at lil' pantry, she's getting by
But me I got a buddy, he's 3d printing guns up northwest of Merlin
Where the foggy mountain swallows all our secrets, lies and bodies
Like "Baby, we ain't gonna be living in this trailer for very long"

Everyone out here's looking for something
Sheriff knows if he comes around
They'll be dragging the rogue river Friday morning
I guess some buried treasure just ain't meant to be found

Every summer I feel the fire creeping closer to our front door
A kind of desperate poverty you can never really know
Help is always wanted, faces peering out of missing signs
You make a break for it and try to make it on your own

And I never thought of myself working for a wage
But there's only so much running from a father's drunken rage
So keep your finger on that trigger, darling, the chair behind the trailer door
I won't let them put you in a cage

Everyone out here's looking for something
Sheriff knows if he comes around
They'll be dragging the rogue river Friday morning
I guess some buried treasure just ain't meant to be found
I guess some buried treasure just ain't meant to be found
