More quotes by Loretta Lynn
You've got to continue to grow, or you're just like last night's cornbread - stale and dry.
Loretta Lynn
I believe in horoscopes. I was born under the sign of the Ram, which means I'm headstrong, don't like people telling me what to do.
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
Who wants to be married to a grandfather?
Loretta Lynn
I've seen every highway in the United States, and they all look alike to me.
Loretta Lynn
I'm always making Butcher Holler sound like the most backward part of the United States-and I think maybe it is.
Loretta Lynn
All music is based on country music. And that's why so many different kinds of people relate to it. There are more country music fans in New Jersey than there are down South.
Loretta Lynn

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
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
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
My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
Loretta Lynn
I know what it's like to be pregnant and nervous and poor.
Loretta Lynn
I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.
Loretta Lynn
I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.
Loretta Lynn
I don't like to talk about things where you're going to gt one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics.
Loretta Lynn
It's important that you take care of yourself and blow off steam in the right way. Don't let some woman walk in and say, hey, goodbye! and take your man. Kill her if you can! I'm only kidding.
Loretta Lynn
I wasn't for Vietnam. When I told that to the hippie newspaper, all my people got nervous.
Loretta Lynn
When all those city folks try to fix up my talking, all they do is mess me up.
Loretta Lynn
My life has run from misery to happiness.
Loretta Lynn
