I'm gonna still play some dates, but I'm not gonna do anything near like I did it before.

I'd like to be remembered as a guy that came along and did his music, did his best and showed up on time, clean and ready to do the job, wrote a few songs and had a hell of a time.

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

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

The last 16 years of my daddys life, he got to work for me, and that made him his own boss and he like that.

I found a sound that people really liked - I found this basic concept and all I did was change the lyrics and the melody a little bit. My songs, if you listen to them, they're quite a lot alike, like Chuck Berry.

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.
