I’m  singing songs about the ocean
 And every night’s a lullaby
 To the coastal  breese and the salty seas
 I’ve never felt so far  from  home
 And as we cast on through these mountains
 I keep my back to western skies
 Where the sun it seems  to always sleep
 Where I wish I was going
She’s  the sea, she’s  the hardest thing  to leave
 I wish that  she would notice, but  the sea will never notice
Jolene,  Jolene, that’s what she sang  to me
 But it ain’t nothing  but her  favorite country  song
So  this old van becomes a vessel
 A beast of burden and a home
 But those eastern  shores are never yours
Where  I wish I was going---
Going---  going---
She’s  the sea, she’s  the hardest thing  to leave
 I wish that  she would notice, but  the sea will never notice
Jolene,  Jolene, that’s what she sang  to me
 But it ain’t nothing  but her  favorite country  song
Jolene,  Jolene,  Jolene,  Jolene---
  (Bar)
 But it ain’t nothing, no it ain’t nothing---
