Freedom is an abstract offshoot. You can't describe freedom. How can you describe it? I tried and I failed.

You are like a hurricane, there's calm in your eyes, and I'm getting blown away.

I see country music, I see people who take care of their own. You've got 75 year-old guys on the road. That's what I was put here to do, y'know, so I wanna make sure I surround myself with people who are gonna take care of me. 'Cause I'm in it for the long run.

As I get older, I get smaller. I see other parts of the world I didn't see before. Other points of view. I see outside myself more.

My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

As soon as you start talking about mystique, you have none.

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand, under an old street light near a garbage can.
