Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely, nothing else to do but close my mind. I sure hope the road don't come to own me, there's so many dreams I've yet to find. But you're so far away.

You can't talk to a man, with a shotgun in his hand.

One of the things that I try to be conscious about in crafting a song is the concept of bringing it home. I like to bring it somewhere familiar, someplace that people feel it's resolved, it's settled.

My life has been a tapestry of rich and royal hue, an everlasting vision of the ever changing view.

Once the inspiration comes, that directs where the perspiration goes.
