Well you're coming down High Street walking in the sun
You make a dead man rise and holler she's the one
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you're the queen
Well it?s a long old highway that don?t ever end
I got a Saturday Night Special, I?m back again
I?ll sleep by your door, lay my life on the line
You probably don?t know but I?m gonna make you mine
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you is the queen
I keep my hands in my pocket, I?m movin? along
People think they know, but they?re all wrong
You're something nice, I?m gonna bet my dice
I can?t say I haven't paid the price
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you is the queen
Well I found out the hard way, I?ve had my fill
You can't fight somebody with his back to a hill
Those big brown eyes, they set off a spark
If you hold me in your arms, things don?t look so dark
Jolene, Jolene
Baby I am the king and you're the queen
