Parton wrote this song when she was about to leave her music mentor Porter Wagoner.

    This is a great read. Those of you who only read the title or skim the first few paragraphs - I recommend you actually read through it all because there’s loads of great parts in there like how she turned down an Elvis Presley cover.

      Just finished reading her book Dolly Parton Storyteller. It goes in detail of where she got the idea for all her songs. And this song and explanation was in the book. It also has songs that have never been released or re-released. Great book I highly recommend.
