I like people to just bring it to the table and feel the moment. And that's why I've never done a session where I don't sing live.
Take a lesson from the trees, watch the way they bend with each breeze, little victories.
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode, but we cannot be denied the fire inside.
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.
If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
Mediocrity's easy, the good things take time, the great need commitment.
I guess I lost my way, there were so many roads. I was living to run, and running to live, never worried about paying or even how much I owed.
Up with the sun. Gone with the wind.
Stood alone on a mountain top, starin' out at the Great Divide. I could go east, I could go west, it was all up to me to decide. Just then I saw a young hawk flyin' and my soul began to rise.
When you're in a relationship, you're always surrounded by a ring of circumstances... joined together by a wedding ring, or in a boxing ring.
Call me a relic, call me what you will, say I'm old fashion, say I'm over the hill. Today's music ain't got the same soul, I like that old time rock and roll.
I write probably 80 percent of my stuff over the winter.
I'm just trying to keep things simple, and just be a little more offhand and not get so deep into things. Enjoy what you got right now, because who knows what's going to happen tomorrow.
