Thank Heavens For Dale Evans Lyrics - Thank Heavens For Dale Evans - Dixie Chicks

I grew up on Bob Wills and daydreams 

My toes were a-tappin' to western swing 

I wished upon a star 

Atop an old boxcar 

Chasing rainbows to the place the bluebirds sing 

I painted my eyes up like Dolly 

Sang with Kitty Wells 'til momma screamed 

Then daddy shook his head as he carried me to bed 

And tucked me in a-beggin' me to sing: 

Thank Heavens for Dale Evans 

You're everything I ever want to be 

Yodel-lay-ee, Yodel-lay-ee 

Yodel-lay-ee 

Dale Evans made a cowgirl out of me

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Now I play my guitar with the cowgirls 

And what I got they never bat an eye 

Like Shirley Temple's curls 

Thank heavens for the girls 

We'll sing a song to make a cowboy cry 

I never got the limo or the diamond 

But I got my hat, my boots and my guitar 

I'm proud enough to say 

I'll always be this way 

Like the girl who went and stole Roy Roger's heart
