Thank Heavens For Dale Evans Lyrics

The song Thank Heavens For Dale Evans is performed by Dixie Chicks .



I grew up on Bob Wills and daydreams My toes were a-tappin' to western swing Atop an old boxcar I wished upon a star Chasing rainbows to the place the bluebirds sing Sang with Kitty Wells 'til momma screamed And tucked me in a-beggin' me to sing: I painted my eyes up like Dolly Then daddy shook his head as he carried me to bed Thank Heavens for Dale Evans Yodel-lay-ee, Yodel-lay-ee Yodel-lay-ee Dale Evans made a cowgirl out of me Like Shirley Temple's curls You're everything I ever want to be Now I play my guitar with the cowgirls And what I got they never bat an eye We'll sing a song to make a cowboy cry I never got the limo or the diamond Thank heavens for the girls But I got my hat, my boots and my guitar I'm proud enough to say Like the girl who went and stole Roy Roger's heart I'll always be this way





Thank Heavens For Dale Evans
