Different people have their ways of measuring success, maybe it's not the right way but wrong's what I do best.

I lay my head on the wheel and the horn begins honking, the whole neighborhood knows that I'm home drunk again.

I've had a lot of practice and wrong's what I do best.

There's bad in everything. I dislike people misusing something that I love so much. It goes beyond the money. It goes beyond all of that and the glory. I love what I've done and I just can't stand to see what they're doing to it. But I've learned to live with it because that's what they've done. They've come in with the modern sounds. I call it modern pop. It's not country anymore.

It didn't make much difference what time of night it was, whenever [my father would] come in drunk, he'd say, "Get up and sing me some songs." We didn't want to sing but we sang.

You can shut out the world. But you always have to stop, and the world is always waiting when you do.

You can't put this possum in a cage
