Sue... It's "How Do I Live". I actually went through a LeAnn Rimes phase. And Tricia Yearwood, though she didn't get the same recognition in the records, ended up getting more awards, off the same song! And the kicker? Both versions of the song came out about the same time!

todd17063 got the answer correct.

In August 1968, Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley P.T.A." (written by Tom T. Hall) made Riley the first woman ever to top the US Pop and Country singles charts with the same song. The record sold over six million copies and even spawned a 1978 movie and an early 1980s TV show both starring Barbara Eden.
