I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.

Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

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

I get asked sometimes 'What's the highlight of my career?' because I've been doing it for so long, and I always have a hard time coming up with something, because so many good things have happened.

I think that all my albums are different enough where I don't feel like I did this the last time.

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.

You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete. And as long as there is breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
