<<Boots Like Emmy Lou's
|
--- Janis Ian
|
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd be a country star
|
With rhinestones on my bvd's
|
And a hummingbird guitar
|
I'd buy myself the biggest bus
|
That ever graced the track
|
With a loveseat for the two of us
|
And a swimming pool in back
|
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd wear my hair like loretta used to do
|
I'd sing like patsy cline
|
And kitty wells combined
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd never need a shine
|
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd be so very rich
|
I'd hire a dog to scratch me
|
Every time I got an itch
|
I'd buy a thousand cadillacs
|
With longhorns on the front
|
Drive one 'til the ashtray filled
|
Then haul it to the dump
|
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd wear my hair like loretta used to do
|
I'd sing like patsy cline
|
And kitty wells combined
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd never need a shine
|
|
I'd buy my clothes from nudie
|
Have fingernails like tammy
|
I'd tease my hair like dolly
|
And measure ten feet tall
|
I'd teach those boots to sing
|
Play fiddle on one string
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd never need a ring
|
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd die without a care
|
Fly straight up to heaven's gate
|
And push my way in there
|
And when saint peter asked me
|
What i'd done to be so bold
|
I'd point down to my boots and say
|
"They're recently resoled"
|
|
So fit me for a robe
|
Wings and halo too
|
But I cannot stay if you take away
|
My boots like emmy lou's
|
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd wear my hair like loretta used to do
|
I'd sing like patsy cline
|
And kitty wells combined
|
If I had boots like emmy lou's
|
I'd never need a shine
