I Don't Go To Church Regular. But

When I First Came To Nashville, People Hardly Gave Country Music Any Respect. We Lived In Old Cars And Dirty Hotels, And We Ate When We Could.

I've Seen Every Highway In The United States, And They All Look Alike To Me.

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.

When I Lost My Husband [oliver "doolittle" Lynn], I Just Didn't Want To Work So Hard Anymore. I Hate That I Didn't Quit Things A Lot More Before He Was Gone. I Stayed Home For Six Years To Take Care Of Him But, At Some Point, I Also Felt I Had To Go Back To Work.

I Try To Visit People In Hospitals When I Can, Smiling And Joking While I'm There. But When I Leave, I Just Start Crying.
