Magic Girl - Boxcar Girl Lyrics

She is a call girl in Abilene
Barely legal sweet Josephine
She lives by the railroad tracks
Rolling steam
Hollywood pictures tempt her to
Leave
Josie girl wait by the tracks to catch Your dreams

Boxcar girl, watch her twirl
Boxcar girl

She meets a man at the Star Motel
Bar
They smoke cigarettes and they play Cards
They drink well whiskey and rob Some cars
He made her a red-shoe girl on Hollywood blvd
Josie girl don't look down there's a Belt around your arm

Boxcar girl, watch her twirl
Boxcar girl

Sores on her skin and bugs in her
Hair
She lays with sick men cause she
Don't care
She takes her dollars to the drug Corners there
Breaks her body while he just stares
Josie girl here comes the train
In those cars you don't need no fare
Go back to texas it ain't that far
At least your mama's there

Train pulls in to Abilene, boxcar girl
Coming back to the welfare scene
They find her body in car 15 barely Beautiful in this heavy machine
Josie girl sweet Josephine
Boxcar girl from Abilene
Boxcar girl, watch her twirl, boxcar Girl
