I didn't want to be 40 or 50 years old and still playing clubs, I didn't feel like I was making any progress, and I actually gave the band notice at one point. I began to have doubts about my abilities.
I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.
You don't have to be a cheater to sing a cheatin' song, that's what I'm saying.
You've got to keep the stage world and your real world separated or you're headed for trouble.
My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also.
I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.
I've been blessed with the ability to sing, and that has taken me so many places I never would have gone otherwise.
I've always liked Frank Sinata and Big Band music.
I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.
You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em.
I should have checked the price tag before I gave them my last name.
I got ex's all across the country and I owe everybody in town. I got bill collectors a callin' me up, and lawyers trying to track me down.
My weakness for beautiful women is my most expensive vice, I still believe in matrimony, but I can't afford another try.
Let me tell you a secret about a father's love,/A secret that my daddy said was just between us.”/He said, “Daddies don't just love their children every now and then./It's a love without end, amen, it's a love without end, amen.
