Born into Kentucky smoke
his mama was his one hero
When he told me her name
I wasn't thinking
straight
'Cause he had
emerald eyes
and auburn hair
I shoulda known
right then and there
this would only
go one way
I was headed
for heartbreak
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
He's just like his mother
Is it any wonder
That I caught him
in the dead of night
with lipstick
on his suit and tie
He still denies
everything he did to me
I'm just another fool
who fell for him
and the vision
of what could've been
but who was I expecting
him to be
The son of Jolene
Jolene Jolene Jolene
Don't think I'll ever
love again
'cause he's still
got me in his hands
while he's holding
someone else
Now I know
how Dolly felt
Guess he was never
mine to keep
so why do I keep
losing sleep
When he's the one
to blame
and he's never
gonna change
It's written in his DNA
And I caught him
in the dead of night
with lipstick
on his suit and tie
He still denies
everything he did to me
I'm just another fool
who fell for him
and the vision
of what could've been
Girl who was you
expecting him to be
The son of Jolene
Jolene Jolene Jolene
Aah aah aah uh ooh
uh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
He's just like his mother
so there'll always
be another
And I caught him
in the dead of night
with lipstick
on his suit and tie
He still denies
everything he did to me
I'm just another fool
who fell for him
and the vision
of what could've been
But what was I expecting
him to be
The son of Jolene
Jolene Jolene Jolene
Jolene Jolene
Jolene Jolene
It's something that you'd
never understand
Jolene Jolene
Jolene Jolene
That boy you raised
will never be a man
