It's actually pretty easy to understand. Stephanie Quayle was tagged by Rolling Stone magazine as one of "The Top 10 artists to watch". This song was her first to chart, but she has been on a roll lately - her song "Winnebago" landed her a tour sponsorship (sponsored perhaps not surprisingly by Winnebago and KOA). The Queen Of The World particularly likes her song "Post-it Notes" which she wrote about how her husband leaves little post-it notes all over the house for her.
I like her neo-traditionalist style which I find cuts through the clutter of today's Country Rap/Bro-Country manufactured music. It's something that will be appreciated by fans of George Straight, Alan Jackson, and (dare I say it) Dolly Parton herself. This song is an unapologetic tip of the hat to the great ladies of Country.
The Queen Of The World will watch Quayle's career with great interest.
Drinking with Dolly (Songwriters: Victoria Banks, Rachel Proctor)
Sometimes I think I was born too late
Came into the world in the wrong decade
I swear if I could
I'd go back to the good ol' days
Buy me a '69 cadillac
A Coke in a bottle and a new 8 track
And sing every word of Harper Valley PTA
Oh oh if I could hit rewind
I'd go drinking with Dolly
After the Opry
Pour one for Tammy too
Put on my rhinestones
Paint up my nails
Kick up my dancing shoes
Hey there Loretta
Put a quarter in the jukebox
We'll sing along with you
And talk about men
Cuz that's what women do
Share a few secrets
And a cigarette
Say a few things that we might regret
Tell it like it is 3 chords
And the cold hard truth
I bet they'd have a little advice to share
How to tame my man
And tack up my hair
Cuz you might as well look good
While you're out paying your dues
Oh oh if I could turn back time
Oh oh I bet we'd have a real good time
Drinking with Dolly
After the Opry
Pour one for Tammy too
Put on my rhinestones
Paint up my nails
Kick up my dancing shoes
Hey there Loretta
Put a quarter in the jukebox
We'll sing along with you
We'll raise up a glass
Wish Patsy could be here too
To talk about men
Cuz that's what women do
Yes they do

She is GOOD!
I grew up in Pendleton, Oregon ("The World's Round-up City") I worked at the annual September Round-up a couple of years. And I learned to detest "Country Music"!
(Buck Owens ruined Country music for me .. "I've Got A Tiger By The Tail".)
But this pretty lady has a sweet voice and a nice song. Thanks for playing it. I may have to pay more attention to this new generation of "country music".
Damn! I do wish my friend Claudia could have lived to hear this. She is good.
Very nice! Her voice is in the same league as the other ladies she mentions in the song. I hope that we hear a lot more from her.
