You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor.
I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.
When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.
I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine.
Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.
I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.
Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?
I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.
Sit tall in the saddle and hold your head up high. Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky, and live like you ain't afraid to die. Don't be scared...just enjoy the ride.
When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.
