Текст песни Vincent - Brian Fallon

My name is Jolene
But I hate that song
I was baptised in a river
When I was young

And Jesus forgives me
For all of my sins
Except maybe that one
When we were kids

I came from south Texas
Killer party scene
Somehow the wanting
Turned to a need

I had a decent boyfriend
Until he got mean
He′d hit me so hard
The room used to spin

So say that you love me
Before we both end up in hell
I'm not asking for your forgiveness
Couldn′t run if I wanted to now
Say that you miss me
Tell me sweet, sweet little lies
Humour me, Vincent
After tonight, I won't be home for a while

I would fly solo
To the rodeo dance
Cover my bruises
In a Maybellene mask

I'd wait till he passed out
He did it most nights
I′d go to meet Vincent
To come back to life

And nobody knew
But inside I would break
There was always this screaming
In between, I′d just wait

One night I suppose
Finally drove me insane
I stabbed him once
And I stabbed him again

So say that you love me
Before we both end up in hell
I'm not asking for your forgiveness
Couldn′t run if I wanted to now
Say that you miss me
Tell me sweet, sweet little lies
Humour me, Vincent
After tonight, I won't be home for a while

I used to love the smell of the carnival
And the tilt an′ twirl settin' us free
I′m sure gonna miss the summer
How the lights used to light up in me
I better go
Vincent, I love you more than you know
God bless you old friend
I don't think that I'll ever see you again

My name is Jolene
But I hate that song
I was baptised in a river
When I was young
