Dolly Do (feat. Sally Van Meter & Eric Thorin)
In Locust Ridge Tennessee
Down in a holler near the Little Pidgeon River
A little girl sat at her mother's feet
Listened to the stories of the Appalachian Mountains
Learned the Golden Rule from her grandfather's preachin'
Her daddy never did learn how to read
Never had a lot, but she got a guitar
Learned to tell stories and it got her pretty far
All the way to Nashville
To the Grand Ole Opry
Never forget where she come from
Even though she knew what a star she'd become
Grounded on the earth, when the people come
What would Dolly do
What would Dolly do
If she were travelin' for a mile
Walkin' in your shoes
If someone come to you
Broken down and blue
Could you look 'em in the eye
Find out what weighs on their mind
Would you follow through
Put your money on a horse without a shoe
In a coat of many colors she learned to stand tall
Never gonna lay down, never gonna fall
Knowing who she is, never compromising
She does what she wants, never had to take sides
But always takes a stand for doing what's right
Everybody feels like she understands their mind
She knows where it begins, and it starts with our kids
Give 'em all a book, and teach 'em how to read
If they can learn to read, then maybe they'll learn the Golden Rule
What would Dolly do
What would Dolly do
If she were travelin' for a mile
Walkin' in your shoes
If you read the news
Of people who were losing
Their homes and loved ones to the flames
Could you put aside the blame
Would you follow through
Put your money on a horse
Without a shoe
What would Dolly do
What would Dolly do
If she were travelin' for a mile
Walkin' in your shoes
If someone come to you
Broken down and blue
Could you look 'em in the eye
Find out what weighs on their mind
Would you follow through
Put your money on a horse without a shoe
What would Dolly do
What would Dolly do
