I grew up on Bob Wills and daydreams My toes were a-tappin'
to western swing Atop an old boxcar I wished upon a
star Chasing rainbows to the place the bluebirds sing
Sang with Kitty Wells 'til momma screamed And tucked
me in a-beggin' me to sing: I painted my eyes up like
Dolly Then daddy shook his head as he carried me to
bed Thank Heavens for Dale Evans Yodel-lay-ee,
Yodel-lay-ee Yodel-lay-ee Dale Evans made a cowgirl
out of me Like Shirley Temple's curls You're everything
I ever want to be Now I play my guitar with the cowgirls
And what I got they never bat an eye We'll sing a song
to make a cowboy cry I never got the limo or the diamond
Thank heavens for the girls But I got my hat,
my boots and my guitar I'm proud enough to say Like
the girl who went and stole Roy Roger's heart I'll always be this way
