Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

I heard today’s song on an Instagram page that I follow, and it’s been an earworm ever since, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Chapel Hart: You Can Have Him Jolene

Well, since the last song, I’ve had time to think it over
A lot of tears, a lot of beer, a lot of wine
I spent so much time believin’ that that midnight phone stopped ringin’
But he’d leave the room and answer every time

Well, it didn’t seem so easy with that broken glass in pieces
And you holdin’ me and sayin’ you were wrong
Well, I’m tired of second chances, and these sad ass circumstances
He’s your problem, good luck keepin’ him home

Oh Jolene, you can have him ’cause he don’t mean much to me
Well, I cried so much ’til rivers turned to seas
Oh Jolene, when you think that he’s in love, he’ll surely leave
Like he did me
You can have him, Jolene

Well, I fixed my crown from leanin’
And those weddin’ bells stopped ringin’
I took my keys and threw him out his door
Well, I found a man who loves me and he’ll give me all I need
What woman could ask for anymore

Oh Jolene, you can have him ’cause he don’t mean much to me
Well, I cried so much ’til rivers turned to seas
Oh Jolene, when you think that he’s in love, he’ll surely leave
Like he did me
You can have him, Jolene

Oh Jolene, you can have him ’cause he don’t mean much to me
Well, I cried so much ’til rivers turned to seas
Oh Jolene, when you think that he’s in love, he’ll surely leave
Like he did me
You can have him, Jolene
You can have him, Jolene
You can have him, Jolene
