DENTON -- Country singer Lynn Anderson, who had a Grammy-winning hit with Rose Garden in the early 1970s, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated Thursday after police found her passed out in her car on the shoulder of an interstate highway.
About 7 a.m., Denton police received a call that a white Mercury Marquis traveling south on Interstate 35 was weaving and driving onto the shoulder. The caller followed the vehicle until it pulled onto the shoulder and stopped, police said in a written statement.
Anderson, 57, of Taos, N.M., was arrested after officers woke her and conducted a field sobriety test. She was taken to Denton City Jail where she was charged with DWI. She made $1,000 bond Thursday afternoon, said Jim Bryan, police spokesman.
Friend and manager Bonnie Garner told The Associated Press that she was unaware of the arrest. Garner said Anderson released a bluegrass album this year and had been at her home in Taos for Thanksgiving.
Anderson was the Country Music Association's female vocalist of the year in 1971.
Denton is 35 miles north of Dallas.
She has lived a tough life, by the looks of her.
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go oh whoa whoa whoa
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well if sweet talkin' you could make it come true
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
(Instrumental)
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
But if that's what it takes to hold you
I'd just as soon let you go
But there's one thing I want you to know
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I'm talkin' about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
(Fade)
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
I beg your pardon....
Wow. She looks like she's been living a terrible life.

Wolf Ugly to be sure!
I think a person could have posted here the current picture of Lynn and safely offered 10k to anyone who could name the person. No way I would have guessed.
Maybe now, but not always...
A first year law student could get her off of this one if these are all the facts.
7 am is a little early for a bloody mary...
Seems difficult to argue that she was driving while intoxicated, if the veichle was parked and she was asleep.
If I looked like that I'd want to stay drunk a lot too.
