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 and 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 a ditch

Booze in my hair

Blood in 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

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 a 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

Jolene

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream

Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
