Ode to Miss Parton...

You sing and lift me
your voice so sweet and pretty
Each string resonating inside me
like a happy harp hammered softly


I feel light like only you can lift me
So thanks for that, it makes me happy.

At times like these, when I feel so hurt inside
It all gets turned and evens out when I hear nine to five.


It’s all just so relaxing
Like living in a dream
When I hear the words Flow out your mouth
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.

So cheers for that Dolly
You have such a turn of phrase
And though I'm melancholy
with your words I am raised.
