Hee signature song and the title of the movie about her is Coal Miner’s Daughter, but like many other hillbilly boys I’ll always regard The Home You’re Tearing Down as Loretta Lynn’s best song:

Beginning with a crying steel guitar, there’s the line—

Once some happy faces, would have met you at the door

But since their Daddy’s gone so much, they don’t smile anymore

There’s shattered parts of broken hearts, just scattered all around

Come over any time and see, the home you’re tearing down


A classic nasal hillbilly twanger needs to be that sad.

It’s her masterpiece.
