The White Buffalo - Joe & 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 Toastin' the day 'till the day goes away then he's toastin' the moon Oh, so his wife up and left Just a little too soon, for Joey Jolene she ain't had no easy ride When Joe lost his sh** and his heart seemed to split when she stood by his side And Jolene, well you know she ain't no Nun She drank in the car and she'll dance on the bar And she's still as 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 tatooed 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, your the only thing good, in my world filled with bad. Jolene, without you I'm all alone Your my love, your 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
