I think the lyrics reflect these fighting times, and it's much less passive (the original was in the 70s, I think.)
That said, I prefer Lil Nas X's cover. He captured the emotions in an amazing way.

But her voice cant compare to Dollys. Not even close.

Different taste for different people.
I would be sad if it was my song.
I don't like anything about it.
Just nope.

(11 posts)8. My two cents
Nothing compares to the original. I dont mind artist taking some creative license when covering other artists songs but, to me, this did not work.
Miley Cyrus does a really nice cover of Jolene.
For what its worth.
