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.
