What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life.
I love history, doesn't matter what era, I'm fascinated.
I would never put my songs in a commercial.
So I started out for God knows where. I guess I'll know when I get there.
I can't crawl any further. You never crawled for me.
Oh yeah, alright, take it easy baby, make it last all night. She was an American Girl.
There was rock and roll across the dial, when I think of her it makes me smile.
Gonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.
Every verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.
Gypsies at home watching Jerry Falwell on TV, might mean something to you, it ain't nothing to me.
Honey, don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow.
Some days are diamonds, some days are rocks. Some doors are opened, some roads are blocked. Sundowns are golden, then fade away. And if I never do nothing, I'll get you back someday.
Take back your insurance, baby, nothing is guaranteed. Take back your acid rain, let your TV bleed.
If you stretch your imagination, I'll tell you all a tale, about a time when everything wasn't up for sale.
