The almighty dollar and the lust for world wide fame, slowly killed tradition, and for that someone should hang.
I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life.
I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget.
I think 'Beyond the Blue Neon' is the best I've ever done.
I think that all my albums are different enough where I don't feel like I did this the last time.
Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys are simply the best band that ever was.
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.
I'm glad He had the never while staring into space, to give this universe a time and place.
I listen to Mark Chestnutt and think he's a great singer - and he really does good material.
I get asked all the time, "What is a George Strait song?" I know it when I hear it. I don't seek a specific tempo or lyric or melody. It just has to make sense. Maybe it is natural because I was given the gift to sing.
Swing is my favorite kind of music.
I like the part where you walk up on the stage and you're up there for the show. I like that part.
I always enjoy it when I walk on stage. There were some times when I was working so much in the '80s, and I felt really burnt-out. But I'd be up there singing and not be 10,000 million miles away, you know, just opening my mouth and the words coming out.
