Cocaine flame
in my bloodstream
Sold my coat
when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard
pack cigarettes
in the early morning rain
Lately my hands
they don't feel like mine
eyes been stung
with dust I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
lost just the same
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
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
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 onto
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
Jolene
