Tanya Tucker

Tanya Denise Tucker (born October 10, 1958, in Seminole, Texas) is an American female country music artist who had her first hit, "Delta Dawn", in 1972 at the age of 13. Over the succeeding decades, Tucker became one of the few child performers to mature into adulthood without losing her audience, and during the course of her career, she notched a streak of Top 10 and Top 40 hits. She has had several successful albums, several Country Music Association award nominations, and hit songs such as 1973's "What's Your Mama's Name?" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," and 1988's "Strong Enough to Bend".

Childhood before fame

Tucker was the youngest of four children born to Jesse "Beau" and Juanita Tucker. Her father was a heavy equipment operator, and the family moved often as he sought better work. Tanya's early childhood was spent primarily in Willcox, Arizona, where the only radio station in town played country music. The Tuckers attended concerts of country stars such as Ernest Tubb and Mel Tillis, and Tanya's sister LaCosta was praised in the family for her vocal abilities. At the age of eight, Tanya told her father that she also wanted to be a country singer when she grew up.

    Silence Is King

    by: Tanya Tucker

    She tests every word like a fine wine
    She holds every thought like her last dime
    You can hear a pin drop from miles away
    You can hear a heart stop as plain as day
    We live in a land where silence is king
    Whispers have all disappeared
    Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
    Silence is king around here
    Silence is king around here
    Where are the dreams, we were after
    Where is the joy and the laughter
    Were they only habits we were doomed to lose
    Or is destiny not ours to choose
    We live in a land where silence is king
    Whispers have all disappeared
    Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
    Silence is king around here
    Silence is king around here
    Desperate measures come from desperate times
    I don't regret what I have done
    If my actions made you speak your mind
    Angry words are better than none
    We live in a land where silence is king
    Whispers have all disappeared
    Cry for an echo, you won't hear a thing
    Silence is king around here
    Silence is king around here
