Raise your glasses for Dolly, to the girl in Sunday blue,who wore a coat of many colors,she had a
Coal-town heart and a borrowed tune, she made the whole room feel like new
Turned a hard-luck night into a family tree, left mercy in the melody when she sing Jolene
From porch-light prayers to county fair dreams, she put truth in the midnight air
Every mile had a name she could carry
Every wound found a home inside her song
So raise one for the girl who sang us home through country dust and neon light
Folk in her blood, country pop an rock in her fire, she turned a hard world soft and bright
If the world forgets her name, the songs will carry her across the divide
Raise those whiskey glasses high tonight, let the whole sky sing your favorite Dolly Parton song tonight,give a toast to the girl that carried us through,
Raise your whiskey glasses high and give a toast to the girl that carried us on,
She knew the highway, she knew the rain, she knew a broken heart could sing
From bluegrass bone to pop-flame glow, she made the lonely believe in spring
With a Jolene heart but never kneeling, with a Coat of Many Colors bright
She wore every title like a bulletproof truth and walked straight through the night
When the devil came down Highway 9
She was busy loving the lost and the dying
So raise one for the girl who sang us home through country dust and neon light
Folk in her blood, pop, rock an country in her fire, she turned a hard world soft and bright
If the world forgets her name, the songs will carry her across the divide
Raise those whiskey glasses high tonight, let the whole sky sing her melodys tonight
Sleep now, brave heart, the jukebox hums your light
Your songs ride on forever in the hush of the night, tonight we raise our whiskey glasses up an give a toast to the girl that carried us on in the arms of an you carried on ,thank you Dolly pouring your heart,voice an soul out in every song you sung ,those songs will forever carry us on,thank you Dolly for the ....coat of many colors you left behind for all of us to wear,thank you for the beautiful soul you carried on earth,thank you Dolly for leaving your voice behind to carry us through
