Story Of My Life Lyrics

Loretta Lynn

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 old 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 me to marry well I know I will
He asked me to marry got kids of four
And I'm tellin' you
I don't want no more
Yeah hey, yeah hey, yeah hey

Doo got me a guitar
I wrote me a song
Moved to Nashville, it wasn't long
'Til I was on the Grand Ole Opry

We bought us a mansion on the hill
Livin' big like we were big deals
Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind
(pause)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 'bout 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 forty-eight years
Six kids later a lot of laughter and tears
I have to say that I've been blessed
Not bad for this ol' 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
