No matter what song I recorded or sang, I did it my way.

Maybe some folks are alcoholics and others are just voluntary drunks. Maybe some folks drink due to body chemistry and others due to their lazy characters. Maybe some have drinking problems, while others have problems enough to drink.

I've always said that if I could have made a living someway in gospel music, I would have loved to had that break, but it never was offered to me, a job in that field, so naturally, I got lost on that other road.

The only thing different between sinners and saints is one is forgiven and the other ain't.

I hear some new artists that sound country but the record labels and country radio lean more toward a more rock feel for what gets signed to a label and played on the radio.

If drinking don't kill me, her memory will.

I took my $100,000 and bought a new Corvette, a lot of cocaine, and spent the rest on foolishness.
