The sun so high and lonely
Burst into flame
I was her one and only
She was my same
Don't cry for me Jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since I was born and
I been dying since that day
I chase her west for hours
She slips away
Long dark clouds come between us
She cries like rain
Don't cry for me Jolene
Wipe your tears away
Been an orphan since I was born and
I been dying since that day
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
