I'm a fool to keep staying, when you've made hurting me such an art.
You can bet there's something fishy going on. I guess some large mouth bass left that lipstick on our shirt.
Mama sewed the rags together, sewing every piece with love. She made my coat of many colors that I was proud of.
That traveling man was a two time lover, he took my love, then he took my mother.
When its family, you tolerate what you'd kill others for.
Our own freewill, to choose the paths we take, no greater deed could ever be done than for another's sake.
I'll never harden my heart but I've toughened the muscles around it.
I always love working with children. I never had children of my own. God has his purposes. God didn't let me have children so everybody's children could be mine. That's kind of how I'm looking at it.
I've enjoyed all the parts of my career.
I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.
Truth is, I wouldn't know a gigabyte from a snakebite.
I just love life. I love people. I love to write, that's my gift. I love to sing. I have a good attitude. I like to think I shine from the inside.
Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams...all of them are different styles, but those are the songs that make the times...they're the songs that last through time.
Love is something sent from Heaven to worry the Hell out of you.
