"Lady Down on Love" is a song written by Randy Owen and recorded by the American country music band Alabama. It was released in August 1983 as the third and final single from Alabama's album The Closer You Get.

About the song
"Lady Down on Love" is a song about divorce – told first from her side and, in the second verse, his side.

Songwriter Randy Owen recalled to country music journalist Tom Roland that the idea for the song came about when, during a performance at a hotel nightclub in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

He learned that a group of women were celebrating a friend's divorce with a night out on the town. However, the divorcée was not having a good time, because she was mourning the end of her marriage and thinking about what should have been – that she should be at home with her husband.

A very sad song. I was debating whether I should sing it or not. I know there are a lot of people, maybe most, who have been hurt emotionally. But sometimes we have to tell the story so that others understand. We are all just on the cusp of some kind of spiritual hurt. And we all need to know we are not alone.

Thank you for listening to my cover of this song by Alabama.
