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 don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one more time
Lost you just the same

Jolena
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
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
Jolena
Ah, la, la, la, la, la
Jolena

Been so long since I've seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this, her 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 they will do

Jolena
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
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
Jolena
La, la, la, la, la, la
Jolena
La, la, la, la, la, la
Jolena
