Listen to “Magic Man (Carl Version) (feat. Ann Wilson)” with special guest Howard Leese and “Bygones (feat. Rob Halford)” with special guests Nikki Sixx & John 5
Recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dolly Parton has released two new tracks from her forthcoming Rockstar album, arriving November 17. The original song “Bygones (feat. Rob Halford)” with special guests Nikki Sixx and John 5 and a personalized cover of the Rock classic “Magic Man (Carl Version) (feat. Ann Wilson)” with special guest Howard Leese are available now. The second and third tracks follow the release of Dolly’s self-penned lead single “World On Fire,” which became a No. 1 song on the Billboard Rock Digital Songs chart upon release last month.
“’Bygones’ is an original song of mine featuring Rob Halford from Judas Priest with Nikki Sixx and John 5. It is one of my very favorites on the whole album," Dolly shared. "The song fits with so many couples and coupling my voice with Rob, one of my all-time favorites, made it even more special.”
“I’ve always wanted a reason to sing ‘Magic Man’ by Heart and it was one of my first choices for the album. I was so happy that Ann Wilson agreed to sing it with me. Nobody can out sing Ann, but I gave it my darndest, and we added a few lines that were not in the original. We wanted to have a few things that made it seem like ours. Hope I’ve made you proud. I think it’s magic!”

Official "World On Fire" Lyrics
Liar, liar the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down Fire, fire burning higher Still got time to turn it all around
Now I ain't one for speaking out much But that don’t mean I don’t stay in touch Everybody’s trippin’ over this or that What we gonna do when we all fall flat
Liar, liar the world’s on fire What we gonna do when it all burns down
I don’t know what to think about us When did we lose in God we trust God Almighty, what we gonna do If God ain’t listenin’ and we’re deaf too
Liar, liar the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down Fire, fire burning higher Still got time to turn it all around
Don’t get me started on politics Now how are we to live in a world like this Greedy politicians, present and past They wouldn’t know the truth if it bit ‘em in the ass Now tell me what is truth Have we all lost sight
Of common decency Of the wrong and right How do we heal this great divide Do we care enough to try
Liar, liar the world’s on fire What we gonna do when it all burns down
Billy got a gun, Joey got a knife Janey got a sign to carry in the fight Marching in the streets with sticks and stones Don’t you ever believe words don’t break bones
Oh, can we rise above Can’t we show some love Do we just give up Or make a change
We know all too well We’ve all been through hell Time to break the spell In heaven’s name
Liar, liar the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down Fire, fire burning higher Still got time to turn it all around
Liar, liar the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down Fire, fire burning higher Still got time to turn it all around
(Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down) Show some love (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire, Still got time to turn it all around) Let’s rise above (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down) Let’s make a stand (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down) Let’s lend a hand (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Still got time to turn it all around) Let’s heal the hurt (Liar, Liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down) Let kindness work (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down) Let’s be a friend (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down) Let hatred end (Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do) Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down Liar, liar, the world’s on fire Whatcha gonna do when it all burns down
