Great Caesar - Jolene lyrics

Paychecks and cigarettes govern the kitchenette She works the evenings, believing what her teachers always said: "Jolene is very keen, that girl will live the dream-- Go to college, get away." But her boyfriend, in the prison, he'll say: Wait for me, one more day, and when I'm free Baby we will run away John Paul sold Adderall and c**aine by the shopping mall He made him a few bucks, now he's locked up, serving time until next fall Plans made in seventh grade, he left them all delayed But she loves him, even so; so he begs her, Oh my darling don't go Wait for me, one more day, and when I'm free Baby we will run away Baby we will run away Hey Jolene, you're the one I want To come with me when I leave this haunt Baby sink or swim, we'll be on our own Cuz we're leaving Ohio I'm gonna make parole and, you're gonna leave that hole, and We're gonna find a place where, nobody knows our faces And I'll find a job that pays and, you'll study every day, and Baby we got to go, they'll never know, we're leaving Ohio Oh-oh-oh… Baby we're leaving Ohio - oh oh Baby we're leaving Hey Jolene, you're the one I want To come with me when I leave this haunt Baby sink or swim, we'll be on our own Cuz we're leaving Ohio
