WWDD Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Big heart, big smile
Big voice on the radio dial
Like a country music modern day apostle
Yeah, I leaned in like it was gospel

[Chorus]
W-W-double-D
That's the bottom line for me
My go-to compass and my golden rule
When life rings my southern bell
I just gotta ask myself
Hell, what would Dolly do?

[Verse 2]
In them heels, in that dress
Wouldn’t put up with no BS
She'd kill you with some kindness, take the high road
Turn a little rain into a rainbow

[Chorus]
W-W-double-D
That's the bottom line for me
My go-to compass and my golden rule
When life rings my southern bell
I just gotta ask myself
Hell, what would Dolly do?
[Bridge]
Didn’t let dirt poor hold her back
And gettin' told no, it don't mean jack
Ain't scared of nothin', ain't nobody's fool
Don't put up with heartbreak boys like you

[Chorus]
W-W-double-D
That’s the bottom line for me
My go-to compass and my golden rule
When life rings my southern bell
I just gotta ask myself
Hell, what would Dolly do?
I said, hell, what would Dolly do?
Hey, what would Dolly do?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Lainey Wilson say about "WWDD"?
Genius Answer

I wrote this with Michael Heeney and Casey Beathard, and those boys, they knew how much I love Dolly Parton and how much I look up to her. I feel like if more people were a little bit like Dolly, the world would be a much better place. She just has been a huge influence of mine in all parts of my life. When I’m going through things in life and I don’t really know how to handle them, I just ask myself, ‘What would Dolly do?’
