However you don’t need this smoke, so shoot your shot with another person (you heard me)

I’m warning you, girl, discover you your individual man
Jolene, I do know I’m a queen, Jolene
I’m nonetheless a Creole banjee bitch from Louisianne (don’t strive me)
There’s a thousand women in each room
That act as determined as you do
You a chicken, go on and sing your tune, Jolene (what)
I needed to have this discuss with you
‘Trigger I hate to must act a idiot
Your peace relies on how you progress, Jolene
Me and my man crossed these valleys
Highs and lows and every part between
You probably did roll in like tumbling weeds
I sleep good comfortable, ’trigger you may’t dig up our planted seeds
I do know my man’s gonna stand by me inhaling my mild breeze
I crossed these valleys
Highs and lows and every part between
Good deeds roll in like tumbling weeds
Good and comfortable, ’trigger you may’t dig up them planted seeds
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I’ma stand by her, she gon’ stand by me, Jolene
I’ma stand by him, he gon’ stand by me
