Heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just beyond the fear. No, heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just for us to find it here.

I want to get within myself and write. I really, really want to write.

Music keeps you eternally young. It just does. What I love about it now is touring without the guilt. Now it's like nothing is being held back. You get to eat mashed potatoes with both hands instead of one. It's fantastic.

I love being a part of country music. I love going out and... doing things for the first time for country music. I always enjoy that.

But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire, cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire.

While I'm playing baseball, I'm still writing songs and having tapes sent to me. I'm sure I'll spend a lot of time in the whirlpool resting these tired bones, so I'll be thinking of music then.

Life's gonna run you over if you don't get goin.
