Loretta Lynn by Angelica Garcia Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm not one to fixate on passin' news
Yet my gold reflection's in the evening brew
Loretta, it's here that I met you
Our one connection, our lousy fools
[Verse 2]
Their monograms on the handkerchiefs
Where we go side sweeping tears again
Our girlfriends send their condolences
But where are the goons that got us into this?
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's not that we can't handle it
We're just tired of settlin', you and me
[Chorus]
Me and Loretta, Loretta Lynn
Black coffee and cinnamon
The price of gin beats rememberin'
How did we not see this comin' from him?
[Verse 3]
The first time I heard it, I must have been five
That crooked motives mean lots of lies
But the warning didn't mean much 'til later in life
When we were led to the land of ten-cent wine
[Verse 4]
They told us we were their heiresses
A trick to conjure submissiveness
So we'd be lame, but great in appearances
Lame, not great, they're no different
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's not that we can’t handle it
We’re just tired of settlin', you and me
[Chorus]
Me and Loretta, Loretta Lynn
Black coffee and cinnamon
The price of gin beats rememberin'
How did we not see this coming from him?
[Verse 5]
The back of Tootsie's, off of music row
With our heads hangin' like limp dolls
In the bars, among evening clothes
Where yesterday's hunger meets today's ghosts
[Verse 6]
Among the sinners and the cigarettes
The kind of crowd you'd expect him in
But we're not angry at all the men, no
Just the ones we got tangled with
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it’s not that we can’t handle it
We're just tired of settlin', you and me
[Chorus]
Me and Loretta, Loretta Lynn
Black coffee and cinnamon
The price of gin beats rememberin'
How did we not see this comin' from him?
[Outro]
How did we not see this comin'?
How did we not see this comin'?
How did we not see this comin'?
I'm not one to fixate on passin' news
Yet my gold reflection's in the evening brew
Loretta, it's here that I met you
Our one connection, our lousy fools
[Verse 2]
Their monograms on the handkerchiefs
Where we go side sweeping tears again
Our girlfriends send their condolences
But where are the goons that got us into this?
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's not that we can't handle it
We're just tired of settlin', you and me
[Chorus]
Me and Loretta, Loretta Lynn
Black coffee and cinnamon
The price of gin beats rememberin'
How did we not see this comin' from him?
[Verse 3]
The first time I heard it, I must have been five
That crooked motives mean lots of lies
But the warning didn't mean much 'til later in life
When we were led to the land of ten-cent wine
[Verse 4]
They told us we were their heiresses
A trick to conjure submissiveness
So we'd be lame, but great in appearances
Lame, not great, they're no different
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's not that we can’t handle it
We’re just tired of settlin', you and me
[Chorus]
Me and Loretta, Loretta Lynn
Black coffee and cinnamon
The price of gin beats rememberin'
How did we not see this coming from him?
[Verse 5]
The back of Tootsie's, off of music row
With our heads hangin' like limp dolls
In the bars, among evening clothes
Where yesterday's hunger meets today's ghosts
[Verse 6]

The kind of crowd you'd expect him in
But we're not angry at all the men, no
Just the ones we got tangled with
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it’s not that we can’t handle it
We're just tired of settlin', you and me
[Chorus]
Me and Loretta, Loretta Lynn
Black coffee and cinnamon
The price of gin beats rememberin'
How did we not see this comin' from him?
[Outro]
How did we not see this comin'?
How did we not see this comin'?
How did we not see this comin'?
