Loneliness is lessened when you're lonely by choice.

Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you. Don't let the 'business' change what it is you love because the people, the fans, respond to what is heartfelt. They can always tell when a singer is faking it.

Walk through this world with me, go where I go. Share all your dreams with me, for I love you so.

If you're gonna drive me crazy baby, drive me to drink.

Country fans need to support country music by buying albums and concert tickets for traditional artists or the music will just fade away. And that would be really sad.
