You don't see no city when you look at me cause country's all I am. I love runnin' barefoot through the old cornfields and I love that country ham. Well you say I'm made just to fit your plans but there's a barnyard shovel pick your hands. If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country.

I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.

Write about the truth. If you write about the truth, somebody's living that. Not just somebody, there's a lot of people.

I love people and I love to sing, and that's what keeps me going.

I wouldn't have dared ask God for all that He's given me. I couldn't have done it on my own. I thank God every day for what I have.

You have to be different, great or first.

My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.
