Songtext Dear miss loretta Carly Pearce

Dear miss loretta

Dear Miss Loretta, I ainâ??t ever met ya
But Iâ??m lonely tonight and I just betcha
You might have some wisdom to pull off that shelf
Your songs were all fun â??til I lived them myself

I ainâ??t a coal minerâ??s daughter
But my grandmother was
Must be whiskey in the water
Must be bourbon in the blood
Iâ??m a long way from Kentucky
But the hurtinâ??s the same
Now I know why you sang that way

Oh what ended up tough
I started out broken
What ended up lost
I started out hopinâ??
A lifetime of pain was three minutes long
And you werenâ??t ashamed
When th
е world sang along

I ainâ??t a coal minerâ??s daughter
But my grandmother was
Must b
е whiskey in the water
Must be bourbon in the blood
Iâ??m a long way from Kentucky
But the hurtinâ??s the same
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 ainâ??t a coal minerâ??s daughter
But Iâ??ve sung it all my life
I ainâ??t been a widow
But Iâ??ve been an ex-wife
And I hear your truth
And I feel your pain
Now I know why you sang that way
Yeah I know why you sang that way
