Hickory dickory dock, I just want to be your clock. Just set me for a lifetime, and I'll wake you up every morning.

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.

Mistakes, I know I've made a few. But I'm only human, you've made mistakes, too.

Songwriting is my gift from God

My philosophy on writing a song for myself is that I always, always, always want to write a song. I always want to write a song. I realize that as a record producer or a singer or whatever I might not, if I recorded on myself or someone else, the first time out I might not give it the right treatment, so that the world or many people will accept it and it'll be a public hit, or anything like that.

I really haven't strayed too far, musically, from my roots

As a kid, this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.
