Together Through Life recording sessions - October 2008  

Well you're coming down High Street, walkin' 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.
