Son of Jolene

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

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

And 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 (yeah)

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

And 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 are you expecting him to be?

The son of Jolene, Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene

Oh

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

And 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), Jolene, (Jolene) Jolene

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene

It's something that you'll never understand

Jolene (Jolene), Jolene (Jolene), Jolene, Jolene

That boy you raised will never be a man
