And now you've lost the only thing that ever made you feel alive.

From the cradle to the grave, temptations all around. But no matter how good the fix, its gonna take you down.

Country seems to be finding a bigger audience. Certainly an audience out of the general country scene is finding me.

Take your records, take you freedom, take your memories, I dont need 'em. And take your cat, and leave my sweater, cause we've got nothing left to weather.

I think everybody has different priorities in their life. People live their lives differently. People become famous through all sorts of different reasons... some of it through art and some of it through just wanting to be famous. And I think how that all starts tends to reflect how you live your life daily.

Nothing like seeing the genesis of the relationship between an instrument and a child.

I'm grateful when anybody can start to have his or her limited perception of the genre open up a little bit. There's a lot of great music in the country genre that doesn't get heard because people say, 'Well, I don't like country.'
