"Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)" is right at home among Lynn's memorable songs and greatest hits, including "I'm a Honky Tonk Girl," "Blue Kentucky Girl," "You Ain't Woman Enough ," "Fist City" "Coal Miner's Daughter," "One's On The Way," and many more. The song was produced by Owen Bradley and recorded at Bradley's Barn in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, outside Nashville. The tune is an anthem for any woman who has experienced the same thing with a man. Lynn meant for women to relate specifically to the song, but that's not to say that she wanted to insult men in any way. The album's only single, "Don't Come Home a Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)" was released in October 1966 and peaked at No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, becoming Lynn's first No. 1 single.

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!!!

Item specifics
She got married when she was 15 and became pregnant soon after. She had three children by the time she was 19. Continuing Loretta’s bold habit of saying the unsayable, ‘Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind)’ was a landmark song in country music. Not only did "Don't Come Home A-Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)" pave a path for Lynn's career success, it also paved the path for more honest songs from her. Among these were 1972's "Rated X," which addressed the stigma around divorced women, and 1975's "The Pill," in which Lynn praised birth control.
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.
LORETTA LYNN - "DON'T COME HOME" RIAA GOLD RECORD AWARD PRESENTED DECCA RECORDS
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.
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.

Loretta Lynn was more than a coal miner’s daughter, she was the most influential woman in country music during the 1960s and 1970s. She became the first woman to have more than 50 Top 10 country hits. Later on in life, he added, country music star Willie Nelson, whom Johnson called "the GOAT," gave the actor his first guitar. "Which I learned to play pretty well," Johnson wrote, jokingly adding, "Didn’t matter anyway because I proudly sing in raspy keys that don’t exist."
“This is unexpected, didn’t know Dwayne sang until now and loved his low voice that matches with Kelly’s high notes which she killed it once more. What a great tribute to the late Loretta Lynn,” gushed another. Her husband liked her singing and bought her a guitar. She taught herself to play and began writing songs. He was her inspiration for many songs, which wasn’t always a good thing. She was born in the coal-mining hills of Kentucky.
The song was based on Lynn's personal life; her husband is known to have been a heavy drinker. The song was the first of many controversial songs sung by Lynn, which also included 1972's "Rated X" and 1975's "The Pill". The song was considered very controversial for the time, but was ultimately quite popular. An album of the same name was released following the song's success, which also rose to the top of the charts.
