When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.

You hope your buddies will win so you don't have to loan them any money.

I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.

And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel.

I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.

I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.
