Lyrics
JOLENE
Vivid is the background
Shades of red blue black
Celebrations ring out and you
Dance dance dance
In circles all around me
The lights play their game
In and out bright to dark
Flowing seamlessly
Dance dance dance jolene and
Sway your hips and dance with me
Make me move and make me shake
Forget all the times we made
those silly mistakes
I love that smile
on your face Jolene
it always tells me
exactly what you mean
when you say loves a road
that don't know which way to go
but the sign are there
and they're always clearly marked
why'd you have to break my heart
and leave me lying here in the dark
you said our love was joined together
like the roots of a sycamore tree
but its winter time now
where are you goin'
Jolene
the hour is getting late
can't you see
everybody knows
that chasin' rainbows
can sometimes lead
to pain
as you dance your dance all over me
the eyes have heard a thousand lies
in brilliant disguise
you gotta get over it -- Jolene
oh Jolene
