It's hard for me to lie to you She comes home to me And we lay awake Til morning breaks Discussing poetry Jolene, we almost never met Then where would we both be? We'd be drowning in a sea of wealth Six figures of misery Take it easy, I'm new at this Jolene Make it easier for me to turn and leave When I walk away, I find I've been replaced Now he's in your thoughts en route to outer space And it's hard to go to bed with you Still running through my mind But you make it so much easier To leave it all behind And then you fly me to the moon While singing country songs I would lie in bed til morning breaks If it weren't for my alarm Take it easy, I'm new at this Jolene Make it easier for me to turn and leave When I walk away, I find I've been replaced Now he's in your thoughts en route to outer space again Make it easy my darling, don't be shy Light a cigarette and then you close your eyes When I walk away, I find I've been replaced Now he's in your bed en route to outer space
