Jolene Songtext
von Sunfire

Jolene, Jolene
As far as I can be and I hope you can forgive me

Jolene, Jolene
Coming round the bend unseen and I′ve been travelling to come home
Hoping that's where you want me to be
Jolene, Jolene
As far as I can be and I hope you can forgive me

I′ve been runnin round, had a gamble crown and I drank from the golden cup
Ditching bodies, runnin round for I'm acquainted to the devil
And I'm donning black and I′m riding red for my soul is encased with sin
All the places where I′ve been. All the dread and danger that I've seen

Jolene, Jolene
Coming round the bend unseen and I′ve been travelling to come home
Hoping that's where you want me to be
Jolene, Jolene
As far as I can be and I hope you can forgive me
When I′m coming home back to thee


I've dug my holes and I′ve had my share of robbing a rich man's grave
There ain't no rules if the sheriff dies so while we pillage and misbehave
There aint church or no righteous path for the hellish fiends like me
And I know i don′t deserve a life that is filled with bliss and peace

Jolene, Jolene
Coming round the bend unseen and I′ve been travelling to come home
Hoping that's where you want me to be
Jolene, Jolene
As far as I can be and I hope you can forgive me
When I′m coming back to thee

Even I wanted out
(The demons will make you scream and shout)
Getting off the highway ground
(You will die by the hangman's rope)
I would have to clear that good ol′ bounty
(A permanent resident in the dark lord's county.)
Cause the weight on my head is worth a lot in gold
(A slow death for those who are bold.)


Jolene, Jolene
Coming round the bend unseen and I′ve been travelling to come home
Hoping that's where you want me to be
Jolene, Jolene
Coming round the bend unseen and I've been travelling to come home
Hoping that′s where you want me to be
Jolene, Jolene
As far as I can be and I hope you can forgive me when I′m coming back to thee
