Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early mornin´ 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
Well, I ain´t about to go straight, it´s too late
And 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
Jolene

It´s been so long since I´ve seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race
I´ve been living out of this here suitcase
For way too long

Man needs something he can hold onto
Nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do

Jolene
Well, I ain´t about to go straight, it´s too late
And 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
Jolene

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
