I've got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line.

If you want me in the Hall of Fame put me in because of some contributions that I have made to country music.

The road had the lonely times, but I kept myself busy.

Satan's gotta get along without me. Since I've broke the chain of sin I know for sure that he can't win.

My mother told me on several different occasions that she was livin' her dream vicariously through me. She once said that I was getting to do all the things that she would have wanted to have done.

I'm in an absolute frenzy towards doing as many things as I can that I want to do today. The rest can wait till tomorrow, next week, if I'm around we'll take a look.

I'm from the Bob Wills and the Little Richard school of music. Bob Wills did what the hell he thought, Little Richard did what he thought, and those were my big influences.
