Boots Like Emmy Lou's

Lyrics

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
