Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, and Loretta Lynn: Silver Thread and Golden Needles

I didn't know where else to post this. The energy and joy and confidence these three women possess just makes me smile, but I'm afraid if I posted it  on my Facebook page I'd lose even more followers and friends. Progressive Bostonians just can't handle country, in any of its forms, with their smarty pants, button-down shirts, and hipster stance.

But I just had to share this....somewhere.

Tammy Wynette: Tonight My Baby's Coming Home

You gotta admit, they don't make songs like this anymore:

Last night he called from Dallas he was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said honey you won't be alone for long
I got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring in Little Rock
And I'm gonna head this semi straight for home

Fourteen wheels a whinin' four big headlights shinin'
Him and that semi been away too long
Hope he don't get stop from speedin' cause I've got everything he's needin'
Waitin' for him right here at home

He's got that big ole engine singin' singin' my favorite song
And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home

[ guitar ]

Ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him
And forty truckstops since I held him tight
A million chicks and he can get 'em they wanna make love and he won't let 'em
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
He's got that big ole engine singin'...

And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home
And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's comin' home
