Songtexte Dear Miss Loretta (Live From Music City) - Carly Pearce

Send me a voice text telling me that she loved this song
So I feel like that's a win
And Miss Patty Loveless came and sang this with me on my record
So Miss Loretta, here's your song

Dear Miss Loretta, I ain't ever met you
But I'm lonely tonight and I just bet 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
And now I know why, you sang that way

Oh, what ended up tough, started out broken
What ended up lost, started out hopin'
A lifetime of pain, was three minutes long
And you weren't ashamed, when the world sang along, no

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
And 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
And now, I know why, you sang that way
Yeah, I know why, you sang that way

I love you, Loretta
