My son had toyed with the idea of writing and trying to write a little bit, so that kind of gave me the bug to write also.

Even though I've been doing it for so long, I still feel fresh. Even when I walk out on stage, I still feel pretty much the same as I've always felt.

Swing is my favorite kind of music.

All my Ex's live in Texas, and that's why I hang my hat in Tennessee.

I like the part where you walk up on the stage and you're up there for the show. I like that part.

You know, legends are people like Haggard and Jones and Wills and Sinatra. Those people are legends. I'm just a young buck out here trying to keep in that same circle with the rest of 'em.

I've had great fans, and they've been so loyal over the years.
