You were born to rock, you'll never be an opera star.

I think I'm going to be making country records for as long as I can see into the future. It's much more down-home and real.

It's a cold bowl of chili when love lets you down.

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.

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

I don't look at a knife the way I used to. I'm more aware of what it is. I think twice. This is a key finger. It's in every chord.

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