God gives us life and takes us away as He sees fit.

I would take songs that I'd loved as a child and redo them in my mind for the new voice I had, the low voice.

Because you're mine, I walk the line.

There's a lot of things blamed on me that never happened. But then, there's a lot of things that I did that I never got caught at.

I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.

I've got no deep voice today. I've got a cold. But when I was young, I had a high tenor voice.

I'm thankful for a pair of shoes that feel really good on my feet; I like my shoes. I'm thankful for the birds; I feel like they're singing just for me when I get up in the morning... Saying, 'Good morning, John. You made it, John.' I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down. I'm thankful.
