Dear Miss Loretta |
| Dear Miss Loretta, I ain’t ever met ya |
| But I’m lonely tonight and I just betcha |
| You might have some wisdom to pull off that shelf |
| Your songs were all fun ‘til I lived them myself |
| I ain’t a coal miner’s daughter |
| But my grandmother was |
| Must be whiskey in the water |
| Must be bourbon in the blood |
| I’m a long way from Kentucky |
| But the hurtin’s the same |
| Now I know why you sang that way |
| Oh what ended up tough |
| I started out broken |
| What ended up lost |
| I started out hopin' |
| A lifetime of pain was three minutes long |
| And you weren’t ashamed |
| When th world sang along |
| I ain’t a coal miner’s daughter |
| But my grandmother was |
| Must b whiskey in the water |
| Must be bourbon in the blood |
| I’m a long way from Kentucky |
| But the hurtin’s the same |
| Now I know why you sang that way |
| Dear Miss Loretta |
| We both grew up too fast |
| And I wish you could tell me |
| How you made it last |
| I ain’t a coal miner’s daughter |
| But I’ve sung it all my life |
| I ain’t been a widow |
| But I’ve been an ex-wife |
| And I hear your truth |
| And I feel your pain |
| Now I know why you sang that way |
| Yeah I know why you sang that way |
