"Sometimes" is a 1975 song written by Bill Anderson,and performed by Bill Anderson and Mary Lou Turner.
Anderson wrote the song while riding on a bus in England. Reading a review of Shampoo,he noticed a section detailing a scene where a character's response when asked if they are married is "sometimes". Anderson decided this would be an excellent setup for a duet,jotting down the first draft of the lyrics on the magazine the review was in. [1]
"Sometimes" went to number one on the country chart,where it stayed for a single week and spent a total of eleven weeks on the chart. [2]
