baby boys four
I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.
song writing people
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing.
cancer scary
It's a scary word, 'cancer.
albums wanted bluegrass
I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.
writing happens
You just write about things that happen.
song support radio
I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.
retirement long albums
As long as I'm still able to have a hit on the radio and sell a few albums and some tickets, I don't see that it would be worth retiring.
song past done
I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.
strong past alcohol
Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past twelve but I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere.
stars crazy thinking
You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.
soccer red-and-blue people
Wembley way is beginning to blacked with people in terms of red and blue
grandma years two
I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.
song men perfect
He's written some great songs. I thought that "Blues Man" was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.
children people politics
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones and pray for the ones who don't know? Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble, and sob for the ones left below?
