Gist: After losing her father,  young woman reminisces about her country roots grounded in faith and family.

Inspiration:

Since I was a girl, I’ve admired the film The Coal Miner’s Daughter starring Tommy Lee Jones and Sissy Spacek.  The movie depicted an historical tale of how the burgeoning singer-songwriter housewife went on to be a First Lady of Country Music.  I understood the stories within the lyrics, and I’d sing along. As my first attempt at writing song lyrics, I wanted to mimic her style, which I’d define as humble, powerful simplicity.  This video salutes Ms. Lynn and her beautiful music.
