Angelica Garcia Loretta Lynn 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'?
