people labels looks
Shoot, there's a committee to tell you everything at a record label. You definitely have to know who you are if you want to look like you at the end of the process. We've all seen people get record contracts, and by the time they're spit out by the machine, we don't even recognize them.
song writing people
I try to write relevant songs about life and whatever I'm going through and whatever people are going through.
people records likes
I am so anti-people's opinions when I'm making a record, but when it's finished and I put it out there, I hope somebody likes it.
people opinion flailing
When you take other people's opinions, you end up flailing and you have no center.
hate goal people
I love the road. That's always been my goal. I've said that to many record labels. I want to make records. The road is my favorite. Some people hate the road, I love the road.
party people popularity
Anytime something starts to feel like a popularity contest or not about the music, I'd rather just not be involved. I'm not a big high-fiver. That really gets to people around me when we have a No. 1 or something big happen. I'm not a big, 'Let's go have a party about it!
believe home people
I'm really private, and also, when I'm home, I'm home. I don't like people in on my business. I believe that you can be overexposed.
best good looks team
The whole team looks good and we didn't give them any chances, O'Connor and Murray were our best players.
good heard hits sick song time
Sometimes if a song hits me really good the first time, I get sick of it. And by the 10th time I've heard it, it's just candy, and I don't like it anymore.
everybody gets gives playing since somebody stuff
When all your stuff gets smashed, everybody gives you new stuff. And when you've been playing the same guitar since you were like 12, that's a lot like dancing with somebody else's wife.
became everybody mostly sort stopped
When my wife passed, I stopped doing interviews and I stopped doing meet-and-greets, mostly because I sort of became this suicide ambassador. Everybody wanted to tell me their story.
american-musician fill lead prove river shadows step sure until walk
I'll fill those canyons in your soul, like a river lead you home. And I'll walk a step behind, in the shadows so you shine. Just ask, it will be done and I will prove my love, until you're sure that I'm the one.
country heart life music songs
To me, country music's about life. It's about Monday through Friday. It's the blue-collar, 40-hour week, songs about life. It used to have more of a sound, but I think the heart of that's still the same. It's still American music.
doors fans uninvited-guests
I've had fans come and knock on my door. I'm usually polite, but I'm usually very direct and say, 'It's not cool that you come here uninvited.
