I only play this bar 'cause i know you'll be here They don't like me, i can tell Everyone except the band looks like a rock star And everyone except for you can go to hell Jolene, i wish i played the songs that make you dance Cause i know what you mean when you say We are never anything but free Is there room out on that wire for me? I've seen the suicides you used to hang with I know the dirty town you're from And i watched 'em blow away like ash and charcoal Far below this crazy diamond you've become You're a stained glass window on a back door screen You're the things you say and the things you mean You're a New York doll and a Mississippi queen And you're each sweet mile between, Jolene
