歌词
[Verse]
On a lonesome farm, in a small town here
There's a man who's lost, full of hurt and fear
His heart is breaking, as the days go by
'Cause his favorite cow, she just said goodbye
He's searching high and low, through the fields and trees
Calling out her name, carried by the breeze
He's begging Jolene, please, oh please
Don't take my cow, won't you hear my pleas?
[Verse 2]
Jolene, she came with a smile so bright
But that smile was just a disguise in the night
She saw that cow, and she knew her worth
Took her in secret, now he's faced with hurt
[Verse 2]
In the dead of night, not a soul in sight,
Jolene returned, under moonlight bright.
She didn’t stop at just one theft,
Next, she eyed his car, all that he had left.
Silently, it started with a roar,
Through the quiet streets, like never before.
His old Chevy gone, without a trace,
Now he's left with an empty space.
[Chorus]
Oh Jolene, why must you take and run?
Stealing hearts and cars just for fun.
You took my cow, now my Chevy's gone too,
Oh Jolene, what's left for you to do?
[Verse 3]
Then Jolene’s darkness took a grim turn,
Not just theft, but a cause for concern.
In the chill of night, where no one could see,
She stole a kidney from him stealthily.
In his sleep he lay, unknowing, so still,
While Jolene acted, driven by thrill.
A surgeon’s precision, a thief’s quiet grace,
He woke none the wiser, but felt the empty space.
[Chorus]
Oh Jolene, what have you become?
A thief of life, where will you run?
From cows to cars, and now organs you claim,
Oh Jolene, do you feel no shame?
Oh Jolene, do you feel no shame?
[Verse 4]
Jolene's journey took a turn one day,
To Dolly Parton's clinic, to find a new way.
A sanctuary for those who couldn't resist,
A place for kleptomaniacs to coexist.
Guided by care, she faced her dark deeds,
Unpacked her urges, planted new seeds.
Surrounded by support, she began to see,
The value of owning, not just taking, was key.
[Chorus]
Oh Jolene, at Dolly's you've found a space,
To heal and recover, to slow down the chase.
From taking the tangible to seeking the true,
Oh Jolene, rediscover the good inside you.
