I was on one bus with my band and crew for seven years. I didn't come to town with a karaoke tape. I didn't get on a TV show. There were no shortcuts. Anybody who wants to follow my model is welcome to it. You don't want to follow my path.

I think that in the last four or five years I've constantly struggled with the balance in my life.

I needed to be pushed as an artist and as a person.

I want to spend more time with my family.

I remember making up songs in my head.

Don't blink. You just might miss your babies growing like mine did. Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your 'better half' Of fifty years is there in bed. And you're praying God takes you instead. Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think So don't blink.

Live a little, love a lot.
