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
