    "Hey Miley
    It's me, I'm in Nashville
    I'm on my way to Dollywood, busy as you are
    Can't get enough stuff to do, can't
    But anyway, I'm excited about singing with you
    So I'm just gonna turn my, CD player on with you singing
    I'm gon' put this on a cassette
    Sing along with it, and then I'll run you off a CD later
    Oh, I'm so high tech
    I got a flip phone, too
    But anyhow, see what you think
    And um, here I go"
    Come on

    Living in a Rainbowland
    Where everything goes as planned
    And I smile
    'Cause I know if we try, we could really make a difference in this world
    I won't give up, I'll sleep a wink
    It's the only thought I think, you know where I stand
    I believe we can start living in a Rainbowland

    Living in a Rainbowland
    Where you and I go hand in hand
    Oh, I'd be lying if I said this was fine
    All the hurt and the hate going on here
    We are rainbows, me and you
    Every color, every hue
    Let's shine on through
    Together, we can start living in a Rainbowland

    Living in a Rainbowland
    The skies are blue and things are grand
    Wouldn't it be nice to live in paradise
    Where we're free to be exactly who we are
    Let's all dig down deep inside
    Brush the judgment and fear aside
    Make wrong things right
    And end the fight
    'Cause I promise ain't nobody gonna win (come on)

    Living in a Rainbowland
    Where you and I go hand in hand
    Oh, I'd be lying if I said this was fine
    All the hurt and the hate going on here
    We are rainbows, me and you
    Every color, every hue
    Let's shine on through
    Together, we can start living in a Rainbowland

    Living in a Rainbowland
    Where you and I go hand in hand together (let's do it together)
    Chase dreams forever
    I know there's gonna be a greener land
    We are rainbows, me and you
    Every color, every hue
    Let's shine on
    Together, we can start living in a Rainbowland

    "Hey Miley
    Look, I know it sounds scrambled when I'm singing it with you
    Wish I could do a little better
    At least, I might not get it all the way through
    'Cause I'm not sure of the structure without you
    But I think this could work well, don't you?
    If not, like I said
    I'll write that love song for you
    You probably wrote it about some boy you loved, didn't ya?
    Well"
