The sun so high and lonely burst into flame
I was her one and only, she was my same
chorus:
Don't cry for me jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since i was born and
I been dyin since that day
I chase her west for hours, she slips away
Long dark clouds come between us, she cries like rain
Chorus
On and on i will run
If i can keep up with you i'll stay young forever
I got to california, she dropped in the ocean
I felt the world inside me turn another day older
I was her one and only, she was my same
chorus:
Don't cry for me jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since i was born and
I been dyin since that day
I chase her west for hours, she slips away
Long dark clouds come between us, she cries like rain
Chorus
On and on i will run
If i can keep up with you i'll stay young forever
I got to california, she dropped in the ocean
I felt the world inside me turn another day older
