Most of the stuff I've read about me has been true.
The first time I got onstage was when I was about 5 years old. It was at a church social, and I had a poem to recite.
I've known straight and gay people all my life. I can't tell the difference... But I'd never marry a guy I didn't like.
In the twilight glow I see her, blue eyes crying in the rain. As we kissed goodbye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again.
Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out.
Just take what you need from the ladies and leave them.
I'm drowning in whiskey river.
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to horses. I have always loved them.
Horses were a way to travel to get to where we are today, and it is our job to protect them.
It doesn't hurt to feel sad from time to time.
I would like to see more airplay for all artists, no matter what age. I think there's a lot of money being spent toward the young guys, but a lot of the older guys are the ones who blazed the trail for those young guys.
When I was out in the bars drinking and fighting I was a little bit less of a peacemaker than I would be if I'd had a coupla hits of a joint and gone and laid down somewhere.
I been a long time leaving but I'm going to be a long time gone.
