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
