- Genius is the world’s biggest collection of song lyrics and musical knowledge
With help from her daughter Patsy Lynn Russell, sisters Crystal Gale and Peggy Sue, and her six-piece backing band, Lynn delivered an electrifying 90-minute set. “I really love my country, but I also love my man,” Lynn sang that night to a silent audience. "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" is a country music song, made famous by singer Loretta Lynn in early 1967. The song was Loretta Lynn's first number-one country hit. It is one of her best known songs and is included in all of her live shows.
On the February 11 chart, “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind)” became her first No.1 single. Beyond that, it was a courageous feminist anthem in a male-dominated genre, and, even more unusually, it was the first chart-topping song written by a female artist herself. The song was penned by Lynn with her sister and later fellow-hitmaker Peggy Sue Wright. This time, she was calling out men who arrived home from a night out and still expected their “marital rights.” Eyebrows were raised, but Lynn, 31 at the time of recording, stuck to her guns, continued to sing what needed singing and became an inspiration to generations of female country artists. One of Loretta Lynn's best-known compositions, "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin" is about an angry wife who is fed up with her husband coming home late every night very drunk and wanting to have sex.

Lynn appreciated all the attention and praise, but it felt slightly off. She was a born performer, and she never seemed more comfortable than when she was onstage commanding a crowd like she did that last night in 2017 in Tarrytown, singing her dozens of hits to her fans with her family close by. In 1970 "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin" was certified by the RIAA as a gold album making Loretta Lynn the first woman in country music to receive such an honor. Genius is the ultimate source of music knowledge, created by scholars like you who share facts and insight about the songs and artists they love. In 2020, the former wrestling pro posted a pic of himself on Instagram that showed him posing outside famed Nashville honky-tonk Tootsies. In his caption, Johnson revealed that he dreamed of being a "country music legend" when he was 15.
She lives in Asheville, North Carolina, where she spends her free time hiking, reading and snuggling with her "Friends" box set. She and her wife, Molly, are the proud moms of two formerly stray cats, Sophie and Pierre, and a rescue dog named Gracie. She released her 46th solo studio album, "Still Woman Enough" just a year before her death, in 2021. Lynn had a talent for telling autobiographical stories in three-minute songs. Her signature song, “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” was turned into an autobiography and a hit movie.

The song was written by Lynn and her sister, Peggy Sue, and some of the inspiration is said to have come from Lynn's own husband, Doolittle, who was known to drink heavily. The song became her first number one country hit in 1966. She was only the seventh female country singer to have a number one hit on the country chart. The song was the first of many controversial songs she wrote, including “Rated X,” about the double standard of divorce, and a previous SOTD, “The Pill,” about a woman who was tired of getting pregnant so she starts taking the pill.

Released in late 1966, "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin'" didn't reach the top spot until February 11, 1967, overtaking Jack Greene's No. 1 hit from late 1966, "There Goes My Everything". The song was the first of 16 No. 1 Country hits Lynn would have over the course of her career. The song set the standard for Lynn's biggest success to come in the early 1970s. Thanks in part to the success of this hit, Lynn became the first female Country entertainer to win the CMA Awards' "Female Vocalist of the Year" award in late 1967.
One lesser-known fact that underlines the impact of the song is that it inspired an answer record. Jay Lee Webb, also signed to Decca, reached No.37 on the country chart in 1967 with “I Come Home A-Drinkin’ (To A Worn-Out Wife Like You).” Perhaps Webb’s boldness was explained in part by the fact that he was Loretta’s real-life brother. Though she never played another full concert, Lynn sporadically appeared onstage and in public in the years leading up to the pandemic. In April 2019, she made a triumphant return to the stage at the finale of a star-studded 87th birthday tribute concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena when she sang “Coal Miner’s Daughter” alongside Tanya Tucker, Alan Jackson, and Brandi Carlile.
Kelly Clarkson and Dwayne Johnson paid a honky-tonkin' tribute to late country music superstar Loretta Lynn when they performed Lynn's 1967 hit "Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)" Oct. 17 on "The Kelly Clarkson Show." Billboard’s review of the single rather skated around the subject, but was approving all the same, and certainly accurate. “Fine marriage of lyric, melody and performance in this bitter-sweet country tune should carry it to the top,” wrote the magazine. The single did indeed spend a week at No.1, taking over from Jack Greene’s “There Goes My Everything” in the very week that Lynn’s Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’… album also hit the top spot. The album peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Country Albums chart.

The album also peaked at No. 80 on the US Billboard Top LP's chart. The album was the first by a female country singer to be certified Gold by the RIAA. Actually, Johnson, who spent some of his teen years in Nashville, has repeatedly mentioned his love of country music over the years, even name-checking some of his favorite contemporary country artists in a 2019 Instagram post. "No, don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind / Just stay out there on the town and see what you can find / ‘Cause if you want that kind of love, well, you don’t need none of mine / So don’t come home a drinkin’ with lovin’ on your mind," they sang.

2017, Loretta Lynn took the stage at the Tarrytown Music Hall, a small theater outside New York City. Lynn, who died on Tuesday at the age of 90, had celebrated her 85th birthday a week earlier with a triumphant two-night run at the Ryman Auditorium, but this was a low-profile gig — just Lynn and her band playing to 800 or so fans. Who would have guessed Dwayne is a country boy?? Never in a million years would I think I’d ever see THE ROCK duet with Kelly Clarkson!!!
The "Jumanji" franchise star held his own alongside Clarkson, who infused her seamless vocals with just a touch of Lynn's classic country quiver. Together, they harmonized on the song's spirited choruses. The surprisingly stellar duo — and, wait, did we even know The Rock could sing? — took turns on the song's witty verses, which tell the story of a woman forced to spurn a romantic partner who comes home looking for amore after downing too much liquor. The duo paid tribute to Lynn, who died Oct. 4 at age 90. Qualifying purchases could enjoy No Interest if paid in full in 6 months on purchases of $99 or more.
It was only the seventh solo female vocalist record to hit that position up to that time as well as the first written by the woman herself (the song being co-written by Loretta and her sister Peggy Sue). The background vocalists on the recording are the Jordanaires.
