Owed To Dolly
OWED TO DOLLY
Raised in a world without any morals
Lead me to a lifetime of sorrows
Words that were written within Dolly's songs
was the only reason I even took this challenge on?
Refusing to have my children raised that very same way
I focused on this world that she always sung about
From singing Dolly's song's it would see me begin to pray
the crossing over into this world of happier day's
Was much harder than her song's did ever say
believing only in her words during the hardest of time's
I'd sing her songs till it would eventually calm my mind
but with Dolly as my guide I took it all in my stride
twenty-one years after I first stepped onto this hopeful walk
It is the one thing I did right, to seek out this world she spoke
unknowing it was her alone that filled me with strength and hope
To leave the only world in which I'd known
And guide us to this little town, we now call home
So thank you Mrs Dolly Parton for letting your lyric's be known
they alone were the power in which I 'finally' found our loving home
