I'm always looking for great songs, and not being much of a songwriter, I depend on great songwriters to send them to me. I go through tons of stuff, and sometimes you just find material that kind of fits and becomes something special.

I listen to Mark Chestnutt and think he's a great singer - and he really does good material.

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.

I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget.

I got ex's all across the country and I owe everybody in town. I got bill collectors a callin' me up, and lawyers trying to track me down.

I think the melody is the first time I hear in a song and if I like the melody, then I'll pay closer attention to the lyrics.

I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo is where I'll be.
