CHORUS
Must be doing something right
If there's things I gotta fight for
Never been one to do things by the book
Say the bleach went to my brain
Say my dreams are so insane
Oh, but I’m just gonna do what Dolly would

V1
Last time I checked this is country music
And you're meant to put your heart and soul into it
There was a time you could speak your in mind in every song
I learned it from the 5 foot nothing, shoulders I'm standing on

CHORUS
Must be doing something right
If there’s things I gotta fight (for)
Never been one to do things by the book
Say the bleach went to my brain
Say my dreams arе so insane
Oh, but I'm just gonna do what Dolly would

V2
They say it ain't who you are but who ya know
You won't makе it if you're more than 24 years old
Standing out is gonna be a lonely road
So I'm following the one that's paved in rhinestones
CHORUS 2
Must be doing something right
If there's things I gotta fight for
Never been one to do things by the book
Say the bleach went to my brain
Say my dreams are so insane
Oh, but I’m just gonna do what Dolly would

Must be on to something real
If I write what people feel
But it contradicts the way they thought I’d look
Call me trashy, call me cheap
With my heart out on my sleeve
Oh I'm just gonna do what Dolly would

CHORUS 3
Must be doing something right
If there’s things I gotta fight for
Never been one to do things by the book
Say the bleach went to my brain
Say my dreams are so insane
Oh, but I'm just gonna do what Dolly would

Must be on to something real
If I write what people feel
But it contradicts the way they thought I'd look
Call me trashy, call me cheap
With my heart out on my sleeve
Oh I'm just gonna do what Dolly would
TAG
Call me trashy, call me cheap
That’s a compliment to me
Oh I'm just gonna do what Dolly would
