Lyrics
Verse 1
So... cold
Collars turned to the wind
They wonder what the night might bring
In the bar where Jolene sings
Verse 2
So... alone
On a stool in a spotlight haze
Hair like a summer sunset
Her eyes invitation to bed
Chorus
And the talk from the men who’ve lived the
sin
And who’ve been with the girl for a
night
Is how knees ’ll go weak and trembling
hands
Forget wedding bands
When Jolene takes...
A man
Verse 3
So... bold
The come-ons every night
From men who want to be boys
From boys who want to be toys
Chorus
And the talk from the men who’ve lived the
sin
And who’ve been with the girl for a
night
Is how knees ’ll go weak and trembling
hands
Forget wedding bands
When Jolene takes...
A man
Bridge
Away from neon sunshine
To the darkness of her bed
But when they feed their fantasy
The fire inside is dead...
Verse 4
So... they go
A lifetime of goodbyes
Funny what the night can bring
Babies and broken dreams
Verse 5
So... old
On a stool in a cigarette haze
The bar radio plays
And she’s seventeen on that stage
Chorus (with edit)
Hearing talk from the men who’ve lived the
sin
And who’ve been with the girl for a
night
Knowing knees ’ll go weak and trembling
hands
Forget wedding bands
When Jolene takes...
A man
