Joe And Jolene lyrics

Listen, here's another hard luck tune

Joe lost his job and now he just drinks in the afternoon

He just sits on the porch, staring out at the blue

Toasting the day 'till the day goes away then he's toasting the moon

Oh, so his wife up and left

Just a little too soon, for Joey

Jolene she ain't had no easy ride

Joe lost his shit and his heart seemed to split when she stood by his side

And Jolene, well you know she ain't no nun

She drinks in the car and she'll dance on the bar

And she's still hot as the sun

Oh, she hopes and she prays that he'll pull it through

Oh, how her feelings ebb and flow just like the rivers do, for Joey

Joey rolls up his sleeve, I still got your name tattooed

The ink's faded and grey, but it's still serenading you

And a love so true, ah for me and you

Joe and Jolene

Jolene your all I ever had

It's understood, you're the only thing good, in my world filled with bad

Jolene, without you I'm all alone

You're my love, you're my wife with you in my life well I'm always at home

Oh, I'll put the bottle down, I'll get straight for you

Oh, now that you've come home let's celebrate with one or two, to Joe and Jolene
