iPod Shuffle...

Jolene by Ray LaMontagne (lyrics below). An awesome singer and songwriter. Just search him on YouTube and check him out. Although not well known this is my favorite song by him.

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 the 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
A 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 the 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



And one of more well known songs...Trouble....

Chicken fat flaming in my bloodstream
Sold my Mike Dow bobble head when I hit Grand Bay
Bought myself a pack of HoHo’s in the early morning rain
Lately my hands feel like Sarah Jessica Parkers
My eyes..Oh my God I’m blind…I’m blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same

Clay Aiken is straight
He don’t date
I found myself belly up in a lazy boy
Cheetos on my chest
Peanut butter on my boobs
A picture of you, holding a picture of a naked Art Slack
In the pocket of my picnic shirt
Still don’t know what wood jackets means
Still don’t know what wood jackets means
Betty Lou Golean

AGHH, oooh AHHHH ooh shoo shoo be doo
Betty Lou Golean

Been so long since you fed your face
Busted them panties…the ones with lace
I’ve been living out of this motel 6 for way to long
A redneck needs a big woman to hold onto
A 350 pound hammer or a Gran Bay woman like you
That or a Harts two piece will do
Betty Lou Golean
