My songs speak for themselves. The musicians who play on them and the way they sound and where they were recorded and the way they were recorded is the old Nashville way ... they sound as country or more country than a lot of things that are on country radio.

Though my problems are meaningless, that don't make them go away.

[ Vietnam War] brought the people together and made the '60s like they were. The youth were very unified against the status quo - against the old line and the new old line. It's the same exact thing today.

Hate was just a legend and war was never known. The people worked together and they lifted many stones.

It was then I knew I'd had enough, Burned my credit card for fuel Headed out to where the pavement turns to sand With a one-way ticket to the land of truth And my suitcase in my hand

There was a band playing in my head, And I felt like getting high

Long, flat expanses of professionalism bother me. I'd rather have a band that could explode at any time.
