Loretta Lynn - Story of My Life lyrics

rate me

Well, here's the story of my life,

Listen and I'll tell it twice.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.

Well, I was borned in ole Kentucky

In them hills where folks are lucky

And it's paradise to me.

Well, I got a feller right over the hill

If he asks my to marry I know I will.

He asked me to marry, got kids of four

And I'm tellin you I dont want no more.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.

Doo got me a guitar

I wrote me a song

Moved to nashville

It wasnt long

Til' I was on

The Grand Ole Opry.

We bought us a mansion on the hill

Livin' big like we were big deals

Scarlet O'hara, Gone With the Wind

I was pregnant again.

Oh gee, Oh Lord I swear

The babies are comin' in pairs.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.

Well, some big shot from Hollywood

Thought a movie about my life would be good

It was a big hit

Made a big splash

What I wanna know

Is what happened to the cash.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.

Now me and Doo married 48 years

Six kids later a lot of laughter and tears.

I hafta say that I've been blessed

Not bad for this ole Kentucky girl I guess.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey.

Well, here's the story of my life,

Listen and I'll tell it twice.

Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey...
