I don't know whether schooling would have helped me get farther along in music at this time. I doubt it would have.

I never thought I'd be a good influence on anybody with anything I did or said or sang.

It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you. It's what you leave behind you when you go.

To me, country music tells a story about, and deals with, the way people live their lives and what they do.

I love finding songs, going through them, tearing them apart, and seeing if I can find anything wrong with them.

I'm happy riding horses and getting out shooting my gun, things like that.

I never had peace of mind.
