Lyrics

Verse 1
So... cold
Collars turned to the wind
They wonder what the night might bring
In the bar where Jolene sings

Verse 2
So... alone
On a stool in a spotlight haze
Hair like a summer sunset
Her eyes invitation to bed

Chorus
And the talk from the men who?ve lived the sin
And who?ve been with the girl for a night
Is how knees ?ll go weak and trembling hands
Forget wedding bands
When Jolene takes...
A man

Verse 3
So... bold
The come-ons every night
From men who want to be boys
From boys who want to be toys

Chorus
And the talk from the men who?ve lived the sin
And who?ve been with the girl for a night
Is how knees ?ll go weak and trembling hands
Forget wedding bands
When Jolene takes...
A man

Bridge
Away from neon sunshine
To the darkness of her bed
But when they feed their fantasy
The fire inside is dead...

Verse 4
So... they go
A lifetime of goodbyes
Funny what the night can bring
Babies and broken dreams

Verse 5
So... old
On a stool in a cigarette haze
The bar radio plays
And she?s seventeen on that stage

Chorus (with edit)
Hearing talk from the men who?ve lived the sin
And who?ve been with the girl for a night
Knowing knees ?ll go weak and trembling hands
Forget wedding bands
When Jolene takes...
A man
