Dixie Chicks - Thank Heavens For Dale Evans Lyrics
I grew up on Bob Wills and daydreamsMy toes were a-tappin' to western swingI wished upon a starAtop an old boxcarChasing rainbows to the place the bluebirds singI painted my eyes up like DollySang with Kitty Wells 'til momma screamedThen daddy shook his head as he carried me to bedAnd tucked me in a-beggin' me to sing:Thank Heavens for Dale EvansYou're everything I ever want to beYodel-lay-ee, Yodel-lay-eeYodel-lay-eeDale Evans made a cowgirl out of meNow I play my guitar with the cowgirlsAnd what I got they never bat an eyeLike Shirley Temple's curlsThank heavens for the girlsWe'll sing a song to make a cowboy cryI never got the limo or the diamondBut I got my hat, my boots and my guitarI'm proud enough to sayI'll always be this wayLike the girl who went and stole Roy Roger's heart
