Discover the story of the song > You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly – Loretta Lynn

The protagonist sings that her partner is the reason why she has to use recapped tires on her car, hang laundry on a clothesline, and can't afford to go to the beauty shop. She also says that their kids aren't attractive because of their partner's genes, but that she loves them just the same. Despite not having everything they need and struggling to provide for their family, they still love each other. At the end of the song, the two of them bicker about their appearance and their kids' looks, but it's all in good fun.
