dear dolly

I ain't no "Dumb Blonde"
And when I wanted a dog, I sang "Cracker Jack"
And when I'm feeling all alone
I sing "Two Doors Down" and I go have a ball

And when I feel like I don't fit in
I sing "Coat of Colors", I feel better again
And when a boy's stuck in my head
I sing "Here You Come Again"

Dear Dolly Parton, I don't know what to do
I'm stuck here crying, and I feel like a fool
'Cause life's fighting me and I'm not fighting back
So come and help me get it back on track

Tell me how you did it, tell me how you got through
The bad parts of life that challenged you
'Cause I'm so lost, won't you come and find me?
Oh, come and sing to me, come and find me, Dolly

When my 4-11 stressing me
I sing "9 to 5" and I feel wild and free
And when my boy's being weird again
I sing "Jolene, don't take my man"

And when I feel like I'm so in love
I sing "Islands in the Stream" and he sings along
You're my inspiration, it's true
And I will always love you

Dear Dolly Parton, I don't know what to do
I'm stuck here crying and I feel like a fool
'Cause life's fighting me and I'm not fighting back
So come and help me get it back on track

Tell me how you did it, tell me how you got through
The bad parts of life that challenged you
'Cause I'm so lost, won't you come find me?
Oh, come and sing to me, come and find me, Dolly

I didn't grow up by the Smokies
But I'm a girl with a dream, and oh, you better believe
That even though I don't have big hair
I'ma run till I make it there

Dear Dolly Parton, you have saved my life
I can't thank you enough for being strong and wise
'Cause life fought me and I'm finally fightin' back
You're the one who helped me get back on track

Oh, your songs told me how you got through
The bad parts of life, they're challenging you
Your spirit covers me like waves on a beach
Come and sing to me, shine your light on me, Dolly
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Dear Dolly Parton, I don't know what to do
I'm stuck here crying and I feel like a fool
