Thank Heavens for Dale Evans

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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-begging me to sing: [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 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
