I ain't askin' nobody for nuttin' if I cain't get it on my own.

I don't want to go anywhere where Jesus can't go.

Just take them rascals [rapists, killers, child abusers] out in the swamp / Put 'em on their knees and tie 'em to a stump / Let the rattlers and the bugs and the alligators do the rest.

I just feel such freedom to do whatever. If a song's seven minutes or ten minutes long, then so be it - it's that long.

So say it loud and let it ring We are all a part of everything The future, present and the past Fly on proud bird You're free at last

Little Jimmy Dickens has long been a musical hero of mine and one of the finest entertainers to ever step on any stage. I was deeply honored to call him a friend and will always remember the time I got to spend with him. The music world has lost one of our greatest treasures. Rest in peace, my little friend. You were loved by so many of us!

I don't want to be without God's blessings. If it's inconvenient, then it's just inconvenient. If somebody don't like it, then somebody just don't like it. That is part of me. That's who I am.
