God Ain't no stained glass window, cause he never keeps his window closed.

I learn from my mistakes. It’s a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there’s no gain.

I keep my eyes wide open all the time.

Happiness is being at peace, being with loved ones, being comfortable...but most of all, it's having those loved ones.

I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.

My daddy left home when I was three and he didn't leave much to Ma and me, just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.

The fire and excitement may be gone now that we don't go out there and sing them anymore, but the ring of fire still burns around you and I, keeping our love hotter than a pepper sprout.
