Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?

I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.

I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.

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.

Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.

My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.

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