Heroes put to the test, keeping a promise, doing their best.
This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.
I might be an endangered species.
The Hank Williams Syndrome: Come to Nashville, write some good songs, cut some hit records, make money, take all the drugs you can and drink all you can, become a wild man and all of a sudden die.
I ain't got no reverse. I've learned, a little later in life, it works out pretty good to have one every once in a while.

If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones,

I may be crazy, but it keeps me from going insane.
Don't ever try and be like anybody else and don't be afraid to take risks.
