Jolene

Lyrics

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
 Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
 Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
 In the early morning rain
 Lately, my hands they don't feel like mine
 My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
 Held you in my arms one time
 Lost you just the same
 Jolene
 I ain't about to go straight
 It's too late
 I found myself face down in the ditch
 Booze in my hair
 Blood on my lips
 A picture of you, holding a picture of me
 In the pocket of my blue jeans
 Still don't know what love means
 ♪
 Still don't know what love means
 ♪
 Jolene
 Ah, la, la, la, la, la
 Jolene
 ♪
 Been so long since I seen your face
 Or felt a part of this human race
 I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
 A man needs something he can hold on to
 A nine-pound hammer or a woman like you
 Either one of them things will do
 ♪
 Jolene
 I ain't about to go straight
 It's too late
 I found myself face down in the ditch
 Booze in my hair
 Blood on my lips
 A picture of you, holding a picture of me
 In the pocket of my blue jeans
 Still don't know what love means
 
 Still don't know what love means
 Jolene
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
 Jolene
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la
