song thinking mixtures
I think I've always approached making albums pretty much the same way. I'm just looking for a mixture of songs and topics that aren't the same thing over and over.
real love-you cooking
I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.
dream school bigs
When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.
children work hero
There's no hall of fame for that working class hero, no statue carved out of stone. And his greatest reward is the love of a woman and his children.
song writing together
A lot of times when songwriters get together and write a song... somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty.
thinking people touring
I think if you retire from touring then people think you are retired.
softball jobs growing-up
Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
country stood-up
I've always stood up for country music.
world september
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
country thinking people
You think about people like Hank Williams, who stood on that spot of wood, and Mr. Acuff, and, of course, George Jones. And just about anybody you can think of who has made country music has been on that stage. That's what makes you so nervous - to think about the historical part of the Opry and how it's played such a part in country music.
daughter mother song
After 17' is a song I wrote when my first daughter went to college, so that's kind of where I'm at in that part of my life. If you listen to that song and knew anything about me, you'd say, 'Oh yeah, he wrote that about his daughter,' but I try not to write them that they are so specific that they wouldn't apply to anybody that has a child.
song nashville forever
To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
thinking important needs
The older you are, I think you realize what you enjoy and what you don't need, what wears you out and what's important.
hypocrite politics poodles
I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles...
