"Country Queen" lyrics

Been singing my songs here much too long
To be ignored this way
It sounded good so I know that fortune
Should be on its way

Y'see I've been thinking it ain't singing
That's holding up the show
It's the way I look that just ain't hookin'
The folks down Music Row

So give me a wig and make it a big one
Pile it way up high
Say "by golly, I look just like Miss Day
No one's gonna pass me by!"

I'll paint my lips and swing my hips
Place glitter on my guitar
I'll make the scene as a country queen
Tomorrow I'll be a star

Why did it take me all this time
To see what's now so clear?
To get a star you gotta look the part
Before anybody'll hear

So say "so long" to a midwest farm boy
He's gonna split the scene
Honey child, I'm gonna drive you wild
As a Nashville country queen

So give me a wig and make it a big one
Pile it way up high
Say "by golly, I look just like beautiful Miss Dolly
No one's gonna pass me by!"

I'll paint my lips and swing my hips
Place glitter on my guitar
I'll make the scene as a country queen
Tomorrow I'll be a star

I'll make the scene as a country queen
Tomorrow I'll be a star

I'll be tippy-toeing right up behind you, Miss Dolly!
