Holding you, I held everything.

As a kid, before I could play music, I remember baseball being the one thing that could always make me happy.

I've got friends in low places, where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away.

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.

If I have any talent at all it's from God, and my mom, who was on Capitol Records also.

I think in between where you are and where you want to be is a sea of reasons why you can't get there.

The greatest conflicts are not between two people but between one person and himself.
