| My name is Jolene, but I hate that song
|
| I was baptized in a river when I was young
|
| And Jesus forgives me for all of my sins
|
| 'Cept maybe that one when we were kids
|
| Came from south Texas' killer party scene
|
| Somehow, the wanting turned to a needing
|
| Had a decent boyfriend 'til he got mean
|
| He’d hit me so hard that the room used to spin
|
| So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell
|
| I’m not asking for your forgiveness
|
| I couldn’t run if I wanted to now
|
| Say that you miss me
|
| Tell me sweet, sweet little lies
|
| Humor me, Vincent
|
| After tonight, I won’t be home for a while
|
| I would fly solo to the rodeo dance
|
| And cover my bruises in a Maybelline mask
|
| Wait 'til he passed out, he did it most nights
|
| I’d go to meet Vincent and to come back to life
|
| And nobody knew, but inside I would break
|
| There was always this screaming, in between, I’d just wait
|
| One night, I suppose, finally drove me insane
|
| I stabbed him once and I stabbed him again
|
| So, say that you love me before we both end up in hell
|
| I’m not asking for your forgiveness
|
| I couldn’t run if I wanted to now
|
| Say that you miss me
|
| Tell me sweet, sweet little lies
|
| Humor me, Vincent
|
| After tonight, I won’t be home for a while
|
| I used to love the smell of the carnival
|
| How the tilt-a-whirl setting us free
|
| I’m sure gonna miss the summer
|
| How the lights used to light up in me
|
| But I better go
|
| Vincent, I love you more than you know
|
| God bless you, old friend
|
| I don’t think that I’ll ever see you again
|
| My name is Jolene, but I hate that song
|
| I was baptized in a river when I was young |
