We bet you’re now wondering where Miss Dolly finds the time to get all this songwriting done, considering her busy life and many career ventures. But Dolly Parton does actually have a lot of time to put pen to paper.

Parton told Vogue, “I write a lot when I’m traveling on the bus. To be honest, when I’m on tour, I have more time than any other time to write and to read and to catch up on my business things… You finish the show at 11:00 at night and then you’re done till 8:00 the next evening, so you have a lot of time to write… But I write almost everyday, some thoughts, some titles, some song’ll come to me.”
