[Verse 1]
Momma moved out, Daddy sold the house
They split up the money and went on their way
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Mommy and Daddy back together again

[Chorus]
Starting over again
Where should they begin?
Because they've never been out on their own
Starting over again
Where do you begin?
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And the whole world cries

[Verse 2]
Got an apartment, she moved in with her sisters
He's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home just sorting out pieces
Of left over memories from thirty odd years

[Chorus]
Starting over again
Where do you begin
You've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end

[Verse 3]
What will the neighbors say?
They're talking talk
It's small town news
Facing fifty years old
Breaking up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools

[Chorus]
Starting over again
Now where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown

And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Could never put Mommy and Daddy back together
Back together, again

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
