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

I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life.

I was a young troubadour when I rode in on a song. And, I'll be an old troubadour when I'm gone.

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.

This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.

I didn't want to be 40 or 50 years old and still playing clubs, I didn't feel like I was making any progress, and I actually gave the band notice at one point. I began to have doubts about my abilities.

I just continue to look for different material, great material, as good as I can find, and try to go in there and do as good a job as I can do in making it a record. That's all you can expect. That's all that you can do.
