If i found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, i'd want to give her a black eye! instead, i wrote this song. at the time i was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind i was in by listening closely. with every song i've ever recorded, i'm in it. i wouldn't write about it if i wasn't in it.

More From Loretta Lynn

We all know of course, that we should never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever fiddle around in any way with electrical equipment. never.
Way Should Equipment
The secret to writing is just to write. write every day. never stop writing. write on every surface you see; write on people on the street. when the cops come to arrest you, write on the cops. write on the police car. write on the judge. i'm in jail forever now, and the prison cell walls are completely covered with my writing, and i keep writing on the writing i wrote. that's my method.
Wall Writing Cells
I always try to write a song, i never just want to write a record. originally i was not writing songs for myself. ....and i can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves. ... even if i don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. when you write a song, it gives it that potential. when you write a song, a song has longevity. ... so i wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how i approached it-only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with god. songwriting is my gift from god.
Song Writing People
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
I wrote 'lights' a long, long time ago. and i expected it to be on the album, because it was - i wrote it with 'biff' stannard. and he wrote every single spice girls song and every single pop song of the 90s, basically. so i thought, you know, i was really lucky to work with him, but i didn't think it would be a big song for some reason.
Girl Song Thinking
Every song i ever wrote, i wrote to be heard. so, if i was given a choice that 50 years from now i could either have a dollar or knowing that some kid was listening to my song, i'd go with the kid listening to my song.

Sometimes a song just has to cater to whatever's goin' on. a well-written song is a song that stays true to the subject.
Song Sometimes Stay True
Songwriting is never one thing. i've spent as long as three months writing a song. other times i've done it in twenty minutes.
