I'm sorry, Josie, I'd love to meet but it's getting close
Please don't ask me how I feel it coming, I just know
I loved and I was loved so much more than most
So Josie, don't be too sad to see me go
I've got my silver pants pressed and I'm dressed up for the show
Four best friends and all my fans in tow
Yes, I still love to dance and I always have
No curse of cancer changes that, oh no, it don't
So Josie, don't be too sad to let me go
Just help me get all of these unheard stories told
Tell this country that it's still got its soul
Cause Josie, I'm only a man, and not all men grow old
I'm sorry, my sweet Josie, I just can't bear to travel on alone
When the only place that's warm and safe
Is lonely and far from home
I loved, yes I was loved, so much more than most
So Josie, please don't be mad when I go
Promise me Josie, you won't be so sad when I go
Honestly, Josie, it won't be so bad when I go
