\"lorettalynn\"Loretta Lynn Will Retire When She\u2019s 6 ft Under<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Loretta Lynn has forged the path for women in country music. She\u2019s not afraid to sing about any subject matter, and her decades long career has proven that women can have staying power. Billboard recently sat down with the legend to talk about her career, music, life and eventually death.<\/p>\n

How have you seen the music industry change for women during the past 55 years?<\/strong>
\nOh, it has opened the doors for all of them. When I started singing, there weren\u2019t that many women singing. Kitty Wells, Jean Shepard, Patsy Cline.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you feel responsible for helping open doors for other women?<\/strong>
\nI think I have done quite a bit. I\u2019m probably one of the girl singers who have helped other girl singers getting in the business, because it is harder for girls to get on labels and be out there.<\/em><\/p>\n

What makes it harder?<\/strong>
\nFor me, it was being married and having one kid after another. I had twins when I just started singing. We didn\u2019t know we were going to have twins until the day they were born. I think it\u2019s harder on a woman than it is a man. I really do.<\/em><\/p>\n

You really have had an amazing life<\/strong>.
\nYeah, I look back and see the artists I\u2019d met when I\u2019d first come to Nashville, and they haven\u2019t been on the road in 30 years. I\u2019m still hitting that road and doing as much as I always did. I never drank, I never smoked. I always took care of myself like that. I\u2019ve been singing for a long time. And I haven\u2019t quit.<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you ever thought about retiring?<\/strong>
\nNaw. When they lay me down six feet under, [then] they can say, \u201cLoretta\u2019s quit singing.\u201d I\u2019ll have on one of my gowns. That\u2019s morbid, but it\u2019s the truth.<\/em><\/p>\n

What are your worries?<\/strong>
\nNot a thing. I sleep well. God has been good to me, hasn\u2019t he?<\/em><\/p>\n
