Loretta Lynn- The Pill (1975)
Loretta Lynn, a 1960s and 1970s country music star, sings of emancipation
"
'cause how [she's] got the pill
"
All these years I've stayed at home
While you had all your fun
And every year thats gone by
Another babys come
There's a gonna be some changes made
Right here on nursery hill
You've set this chicken your last time
'Cause now I've got the pill
