Tammy Wynette (May 5, 1942 – April 6, 1998) was an American country singer and songwriter. She was known as the "First Lady of Country Music" and one of her best-known songs was "Stand by Your Man," which was one of the biggest selling hit singles by a woman in the history of the music genre. Tammy Wynette was born Virginia Wynette Pugh near Tremont, Mississippi, the only child of William Hollis Pugh (died February 13, 1943) and Mildred Faye Russell (1922–1991). She was always called Wynette (pronounced Win-net), or Nettie, instead of Virginia. Her father was a farmer and local musician.

Tammy Wynette
Tammy Wynette & Vince Gill
(Paul Overstreet)
All the times I've fallin' victim to my pride
Patiently, you have waited by my side
My guiding light through my darkest night
You're the one thing I do right.
No, I wasn't meant to live my life alone
The load is just too heavy
And the road is just too long
When I try to do it all myself
It always turns out wrong
No, I wasn't meant to live my life alone.
But I've tried
A million times to take control
But I find
I always dig myself a hole
And there I stand with a broken plan
Reachin' for your hand.
'Cause I wasn't meant to live my life alone
The load is just too heavy
And the road is just too long
When I try to do it all myself
I find I'm not that strong.
No, I wasn't meant to live my life
I wasn't meant to live my life
I wasn't meant to live my life alone...
