Jolene

I’m singing songs about the ocean

And every night’s a lullabye

To the coastal breeze and the salty seas

I’ve never felt so far from home

And as we pass on through these mountains

I keep my back to western skies

Where the sun it seems to always sleep

And where I wish I was going

She’s the sea, she’s the hardest thing to leave

I wish that she would notice

But the sea will never notice

Jolene

Jolene

That’s what she sang to me

But it ain’t nothing but her favorite country song

So this old van becomes a vessel,

A beast of burden, and a home

But those eastern shores are never yours

Where I wish I was going

She’s the sea, she’s the hardest thing to leave

I wish that she would notice

But the sea will never notice

Jolene

Jolene

That’s what she sang to me

But it ain’t nothing but her favorite country song

Jolene

Jolene

Jolene

Jolene

But it ain’t nothing

It ain’t nothing
