backs ball clay delivered front good guys running
I thought Clay delivered the ball well, and we know Brandon can run. The thing with quarterbacks and running backs is they're only as good as the guys in front of them.
drive fans favor great hope love miserable return sorry watch
That drive home. It wasn't fun.... We're sorry we didn't come over there and look better. We hope your fans come over to see the game... We like our place to be a great place to watch a game, but a miserable place to play. We'd love to return the favor this year.
performers
I'm a live performer and I love playing live.
rope impossible
Weave me a rope that will pull me through these impossible times.
song years doe
There are some songs where I'll have had the music for 20 years and then finally the lyric will come through. That's not common but it does happen. Then there are other songs that come really quickly.
kids vivid here-and-now
I've got kids now and they will constantly pull you into the here and now - they are very present and very vivid.
song people songwriters
Just like any songwriter, I love it when people sing my songs.
joy trying outcomes
The joy of songwriting only gets messed up if you are trying to follow up a big success, or you are trying to create a hit single, or if you have conscious thoughts of a particular outcome for the music.
song thinking
I think a good song is a good song is a good song.
song writing pops
Why can't you write a great pop song when you are 85? Maybe you can.
way helping ifs
I can't help it if I stretch the truth, not if that's the way it happened.
mistake men thinking
Things change when you learn to loosen your grip. I think one way and the future is desperate. I think another way everything is in sight. Trees bend so branches don't have to break. We mend the wounds of our last mistake... I live one way holding onto the fence post. I live another way sliding off into space. Each life is loosely assembled... Birds swim, fish do fly. Proud man begins to cry. Birds swim, fish do fly. Things change, so why can't I?
want beside-you walking
Walking beside you I want for nothing.
pain dark night
Weave me a rope from this dark despair, from this dull-eyed pain... Weave me a rope from this endless night, from this distant shore... Weave me a rope that will pull me through these impossible times.
