JOSIE AND CALOS

Another jam on OBT tonight
I park my car and I step inside
Carlos plays the bass like it's a prayer
Josie sings like the world's not there

She Stopped counting the days so long ago
Her voice carries pain she won't show
He left a shadow she can't erase
But she sings her truth in this crowded place

She's doing fine she swears it's true
But her voice cuts deep like morning dew
He won't return no he's long gone
Yet her heart beats steady like a stubborn song

Carlos plucks strings with a quiet smile
Like he's been walking this road for a while
The rhythm flows through his calloused hands
A melody built on broken plans

The crowd listens but no one stays
Lost in their own endless maze
The Roof has a stage where dreams collide
But Josie and Carlos never hide

She's doing fine she swears it's true
But her voice cuts deep like morning dew
He won't return no he's long gone
Yet her heart beats steady like a stubborn song

OBT: Orange Blossom Trail, major artery that runs through Orlando, Florida
