I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.

Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past twelve but I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere.

My mother kept asking me, "When are you going to do a gospel album?" And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.

The older you are, I think you realize what you enjoy and what you don't need, what wears you out and what's important.

I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.

I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.

To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
