    Lyrics:
    I ain't about to go straight
    It's too late
    I found myself face-down in a ditch
    Booze on my hair, blood on my lips
    A picture of you, holding a picture of me
    In the pocket of my blue jeans
    Still don't know what love means
    Still don't know what love means
    Jolene
    Ah, la, la, la, la, la
    Jolene

    Playing Jolene on repeat at 224am, alone, on a full moon night in August. I've lived in four places and I've had moments playing this song in every one of them. Driving back mountain roads in the smokies, walking the rainy Streets of New Orleans, and now here singing along in humid rust belt Pennsylvania. Never been to Spokane, but I've lived this song. It takes me back to somewhere I've been too long, and takes me back to somewhere I've never even been at all. God bless you Ray LaMontagne. Your poetry and your voice is better than any therapy I could ever find.

      I’m from Spokane and this is definitely the kind of place where, down on your luck you, might sell your coat for a pack of smokes. Dirty streets surrounded by pine forests, beautiful and perfect for a song like this

    Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
    Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
    Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
    In the early morning rain
    Lately, my hands they don't feel like mine
    My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
    Held you in my arms one time
    Lost you just the same
    Jolene
    I ain't about to go straight
    It's too late
    I found myself face-down in a ditch
    Booze on my hair, blood on my lips
    A picture of you, holding a picture of me
    In the pocket of my blue jeans
    Still don't know what love means
    Still don't know what love means
    Jolene
    Ah, la, la, la, la, la
    Jolene
    Been so long since I seen your face
    Or felt a part of this human race
    I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
    A man needs something he can hold onto
    Nine-pound hammer or a woman like you
    Either one of them things will do
    Jolene
    I ain't about to go straight
    It's too late
    I found myself face down in a ditch
    Booze in my hair, blood on my lips
    A picture of you, holding a picture of me
    In the pocket of my blue jeans
    Still don't know what love means
    Still don't know what love means
    Jolene
    La, la, la, la, la, la, la
    Jolene
    La, la, la, la, la, la, la
    Jolene

    Remembering the first time I heard Ray. Such a subtle man. Tossled hair, and dressed plain and unassuming. Then this booming voice swelled out of his throat, demanding my attention!! I was a fan immediately! His dynamics are perfect in this song as he brings it down to a more personal level. Love his music!

    I heard you on tv years ago--ran fast to get my daughter, Jenna Rose. We both fell for your voice, your songs, your acoustic style,I heard Trouble first. Then she listened to you with The Staves and Justin Vernon, in Berlin, doing "Jolene". Her boyfriend told me it was one of her faves! Tomorrow is her birthday-well, today by US EST. Jenna Rose died after fighting and beating 5 brain tumors with three surgeries. No complaints. But then she got Cancer, all stage 4-more tumors than could be counted. But still no complaints. She was an artist, a painter, a multi-media lover, a photographer, a computer whiz who was working on playing around with her pix, etc. digitally, but had REAL cameras, a writer, animal lover and knower there of, friends forever and a day all over the world for decades on veggie forums, and the like. so, I am listening to you and I am saying Happy Birthday to my sweet girl. Thank you so much! And do I ever love The Staves! Her Mom, Terri
