[Verse 1]
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
Eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late

[Chorus]
'Cause I found myself face-down in a ditch
Booze on my hair, blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
I still don't know what love means
I still don't know what love means

[Post-Chorus]
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 2]
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
A man needs something he can hold onto
A nine-pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do

[Pre-Chorus]
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late

[Chorus]
'Cause 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
I still don't know what love means
I still don't know what love means
I still don't know what love means

[Post-Chorus]
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Ooh
