Tis a wicked song isn't it? First heard it as a live version, the B-Side to The Distance and I've loved it since. Fantastic! What's it about though? Sorry if I'm being a bit ignorant there. I suppose I should work it out myself but I know I'll be wrong if I try. Any ideas anyone?
It seems that song move forward in time. Obviously, the singer/orator cares for the female. Outside of that, let's first look at the name of the song, JOLENE. This name was originally given to a song sung by Dolly Parton about a very gorgeous woman whom can take the heart of almost any man. It may just be coincidence.

The first line gives two descriptions for the door. It provides me with a door that would make loud creaking sound when moved. The second line insinuates that he has heard it many times. The 3rd and 4th line, mixed with the final two chorus lines (cream rinse is hair conditioner that is applied after shampooing), says that she washes her hair or takes a shower when she comes over. This makes the listener try to figure out why she has to wash herself when she comes over.
Second verse: The real question is why she can hear her father’s snores. Also, in cartoons, the characters always stop when a sleeping person’s suddenly has uneven snores because they think they are going to wake up. After this she suddenly wants to get away. The door was open quietly in contrast to the loudness of the breezeway door. If she had a “good” father and she had to sneak out in the night, then she wouldn’t probably be stripping or whatever causes this “sickly scent” that she is always trying to wash off. Therefore, the most likely explanation is that she somehow has “problems,” to say politely (note again that she could hear his snores), with her father. She has finally been convinced to get away from her tobacco smoking father.
Space probably represents freedom. The unusual thing is that takes is said three times. And even though the father is out of the picture and, therefore, the tobacco smell is gone, the guy can still smell on her. This last verse is a very realistic problem in such a situation. It takes a lot to help somebody get away from the memories of such a situation and it bothers the guy, mentally, about her past. The sickly scent can be real anymore, but in the back of his mind it will always be there.
