More quotes by Loretta Lynn
I've been around a long time, and life still has a whole lot of surprises for me.
Loretta Lynn
We used to go around tipping outhouses over, or turning over corn shocks on Halloween. Anything to be mean.
Loretta Lynn
The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.
Loretta Lynn
If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.
Loretta Lynn
I had more verses . Owen Bradley said, 'Loretta, there's already been one El Paso and we'll never have another one. Get in that room and start taking some of those verses off.' Yeah, I took six verses off.
Loretta Lynn
Sometimes they work, and sometimes they just won't. Sometimes you get hung up on them. When that happens, you just throw it back, and maybe come back to it two or three weeks later.
Loretta Lynn
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Loretta Lynn
My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
Loretta Lynn
Being on stage is the best part of my career. I just say whatever comes into my head. It's the only time I feel grown-up and in control of things.
Loretta Lynn
I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.
Loretta Lynn
I won all the blue ribbons for canning at the state fair.
Loretta Lynn
Sometimes it's like you're a big pie settin' on the table, and everybody runs up and gets their piece of you. When it's over' the plate's empty.
Loretta Lynn
I've seen every highway in the United States, and they all look alike to me.
Loretta Lynn
Daddy was real gentle with kids. That's why I expected so much out of marriage, figuring that all men should be steady and pleasant.
Loretta Lynn
When something is bothering me, I write a song that tells my feelings.
Loretta Lynn
I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.
Loretta Lynn
Write about the truth. If you write about the truth, somebody's living that. Not just somebody, there's a lot of people.
Loretta Lynn
I avoid going through places where there's too much poverty.
Loretta Lynn
Mommy smoked but she didn't want us to. She saw smoke coming out of the barn one time, so we got whipped.
Loretta Lynn
If I had a chance to do things over again, I might not start singing. It was my husband Doolittle's idea. He pushed me out there, the booger. And I'm out there now, so I might as well make the best of it.
Loretta Lynn
