What Would Dolly Say? - by Linda Jean

As a small girl i had the biggest dream,
And impossible as it always seemed,
It always stayed there right in my heart,
To sing my songs.
It was country from the start.

So I learned guitar and before too long
I was singing and playing my very own songs.
It all started by singing in the back of the car,
To my Dad's favorite songs
By the greatest country stars.

Her heart and music, helped shape my life.
A little bit of Dolly makes everything right.
In this world gone crazy let's look back in time,
If we all learned from Dolly...
Everything would be fine.

So I joined a band and played far and wide,
For 16 years it lit up my life,
Till one split second one summer day,
An accident happened
And stole my dream away.

And for a year i couldn't even play,
Tried to find the joys to hold back the pain.
On the days when i woke up feeling totally blue
I'd think to myself...
What would Dolly do?

Her heart and music, helped shape my life.
A little bit of Dolly makes everything right.
In this world gone crazy let's look back in time,
If we all learned from Dolly...
Everything would be fine.

And so I heal each and every day,
Put some makeup on grab a guitar and play.
Some days are hard and if I lose my way
I think to myself..
What would Dolly Say?

I think about the world and how it needs to heal,
It's so out of focus from the things that are real.
If we turned back the clock to a simpler way...
Yes...
What would Dolly say?

Her heart and music, helped shape our lives.
A little bit of Dolly makes everything right.
In this world gone crazy let's look back in time,
If we all learned from Dolly...
Everything would be fine.

Yodellay hee yodelay hee hoo, lay hee yodelay hee hee
With this world gone crazy, we just need to be kind.
Yodellay hee yodelay hee hoo, yodalidal oda lidal layhee hee
If we shared more kindness, everything would be fine.

If we all learned from Dolly....
If we all learned from Dolly....
If we all learned from Dolly.........
Everything would be fine.
