Songwriter: Ray LaMontagne

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
I bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early mornin' rain
Lately, my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes have been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
I lost you just the same
Jolene, I ain't about to go straight
It's too late

Yeah I found myself face-down in a ditch
Blood on my face, dirt on my lips
With a picture of you holdin' a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means

Jolene
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Been so long since I seen your face
And felt a part of the human race
I've been livin' out of this here suitcase
For way too long
A man needs somethin' he can hold onto
A nine-pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them old things will do
Oh yeah
Jolene, I ain't about to go straight
Yeah it's too late

And I found myself face down in a ditch
Booze in my hair, blood on my lips
With a picture of you holdin' a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means

Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Jolene
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
I bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early mornin' rain

Eric Church is an American country music singer-songwriter from Granite Falls, North Carolina. After graduating from Appalachian State University with a business degree in 2000, Eric became engaged to a Spanish teacher from Lenior, NC whose father attempted to deter his musical aspirations by offering him a corporate career in Denver. After turning down her father’s offer, Church’s ex-fiance broke the engagement, giving Church motivation to move to Nashville and begin focusing solely on his music. Recollections of this turning point in Church’s life are heard throughout his lyrical portfolio (most prominently in “Those I’ve Loved”).

After a period of being overlooked by record labels and producers, Church was eventually signed to Capitol Records in 2006, making his debut with the album, Sinners Like Me. The album produced four singles on the Billboard Country Chart, “How ‘Bout You,” “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” and the album’s title track.

His second album, 2009’s Carolina, produced three more “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most,” and “Hell on the Heart.”
