Well the country songs themselves are three-chord stories, ballads which are mostly sad. If you are already feeling sorry for yourself when you listen to them they will take you to an even sadder place.

I take it not only a day at a time, but a moment at a time, and keep it at that pace. If you can be happy right now, then you’ll always be happy, because it’s always in the now

But if you think of all the people who don't like me, just think of all the millions who've never heard of me!

I don’t believe in adhering to any rules I don’t support and I didn’t vote for. To hell with what people think. Just be who you are and you’ll be happy.

I'm drinking doubles now that you're running around single again.

And as far as guitars go, I loved Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West's stuff.

There is only one map to the journey of life and it lives within your heart
