Boots like Emmy Lou’s

Janis Ian Boots Like Emmy Lou's Lyrics:
If I had boots like a-Emmy Lou's [2] ,
I'd be a big ol' star.
Rhinestones on my BVD's [3] ,
And a Hummingbird [4] guitar.
I'd buy myself the biggest bus,
To ever grace the track.
With a loveseat for the two of us,
And a swimming pook in back.

If I had boots like Emmy Lou's
I'd wear my hair like Loretta [5] used to do.
I'd sing like Patsy Cline [6] ,
And Kitty Wells [7] combined.
If I had boots like a-Emmy Lou's,
I'd never need a shine.

If I had boots like a-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 [8] in the front.
Drive one till 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 a-Emmy Lou's,
I'd never need a shine.

I'd buy my clothes from Nudie [9] .
Have fingernails like Tammy [10] ,
I'd tease my hair like Dolly [11] ,
And measure ten feet tall.
I'd teach those boots to talk,
They'd lecture in New York.
If I had boots like Emmy Lou's,
I'd never need to walk.

[Instrumental break featuring "tuba [12] " and honky tonk piano.]

If I had boots like a-Emmy Lou's
I'd die without a care.
Fly straight up to heaven's gate,
And shove 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 resolded."
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 a-Emmy Lou's,
I'd never need a shine.
If I had boots like a-Emmy Lou's,
I'd never need a shine.
