I know what God did for me. I know that He is my way out and my way in. He's my way out of all this havoc and my way into paradise. He suffered for me and for everybody listening. God loves us so much. He tried a lot of things to get our attention. He tried a lot of things to get us back to Him. So He said, "I'll tell you what. I'm going to make it real simple for you. I'm going to send my Son. He's going to take on all your iniquities and all your sins. He's gonna die in your place so you can have everlasting life. All you've got to do is accept that.

Before you ask some girl for her hand now, keep your freedom for as long as you can now. My Mama told me, you better shop around.

When you write a song, a song has longevity

Pretty girls come a dime a dozen, try to find one who's gonna give you true loving.

When someone picks up one of my songs and records it, I'm a flattered man, it's a blessing to me

I will build you a castle with a tower so high it reaches the moon.
