Chicks Dixie Thank Heavens For Dale Evans lyrics

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

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
