Jolene

I'm singing songs about the ocean

And every night's a lullaby

To the coastal breeze and the salty seas

I've never felt so far from home

And as we cast on through these mountains

I keep my back to western skies

Where the sun it seems to always sleep

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

Going, 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, no it ain't nothing
