John Engel - Bowling Green

Jolene said, 'You're a beautiful talker
A singer of pictures, a pixie-tongued hawker
A love-worn hobo, a jingle-jangle man
Who keeps lost treasures in the palm of his hand'
Jay became a daydream juggler all for her
He would open doors with the slightest murmur
He'd lift her up and then they'd look down at the sky
She knew he'd stare down any storm with just one eye
Jolene
Look beyond the fields of Bowling Green
The world keeps turning as you go
To your own song
But a story's never told and it's hard to tell
Did he really love her and did he treat her well
He blessed her always 'til one day he headed west
What was she to him, she asked, was it just a test?
He had wanted to turn a nickel into a dime
See what makes the bells of Sam Goldwyn chime
Now when she sees him on a flat screen in the dark
She doesn't recognize the gem that made her spark
Jolene
Look beyond the fields of Bowling Green
And know you're all it takes to glow
To your own song
