It’s our job here at BuzzPatrol to provide you with all that is snarky and scandalous in the wild and wacky world of entertainment.  From Lindsay’s drug binges to Britney’s pantiless romps…from Paris’s legal woes to Amy’s borderline personality disorder, we try and provide you guys with something to laugh at, smirk at, and make you feel just a teensy bit better about your own lives.

With that in mind, I heard a song today from Dolly Parton’s new cd Backwoods Barbie that I can’t help but pass on.  It has no traces of cynicism and no pretense of bitchery.  It’s just good ol’ sound advice, and even if you don’t wanna concentrate on the words, there’s always Dolly’s boobs to enjoy!  I guarantee that if every screwed up Hollywood starlet would just add this tune to their iPods, we’d be out of a job here.

So sit back, light up the corncob pipe, and mellow out for a minute….

YouTube: Better Get To Livin’

By Dolly Parton

People always comin’ up to me and askin’
“Dolly, what’s your secret?
With all you do, your attitude
Just seems to be so good
How do you keep it?”
Well I’m not the Dalai Lama, but I’ll try
To offer up a few words of advice

Chorus:

You better get to livin’, givin’
Don’t forget to throw in a little forgivin’
And lovin’ on the way
You better get to knowin’, showin’
A little bit more concerned about where you’re goin’
Just a word unto the wise
You better get to livin’

A girlfriend came to my house
Started cryin’ on my shoulder Sunday evening
She was spinnin’ such a sad tale
I could not believe the yarn that she was weavin’
So negative the words she had to say
I said if I had a violin I’d play

I said you’d better get to livin’, givin’
Be willing and forgivin’
Cause all healing has to start with you
You better stop whining, pining
Get your dreams in line
And then just shine, design, refine
Until they come true
And you better get to livin’

Your life’s a wreck, your house is mess
And your wardrobe way outdated
All your plans just keep on falling through
Overweight and under paid, under appreciated
I’m no guru, but I’ll tell you
This I know is true

You better get to livin’, givin’
A little more thought about bein’
A little more willin’ to make a better way
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Keep your chin up
Just hang tough
And if it gets too rough
Fall on your knees and pray
And do that everyday
Then you’ll get to livin’

The day we’re born we start to die
Don’t waste one minute of this life
Get to livin’
Share your dreams and share your laughter
Make some points for the great hereafter

Better start carin’
Better start sharin’
Better start tryin’
Better start smiling
And you better get to livin’
