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 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
