song nashville forever
To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
alcohol drug tonight
Tonight I'm the designated drinker.
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.
enjoy-life enjoy
I'm usually just enjoying life.
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.
world september
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
country stood-up
I've always stood up for country music.
baby strong jugs
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
fire music-is stills
Making music is still what keeps a fire going on in me.
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.
sight blue sky
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke rising against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor, or did you just sit down and cry?
grew young needed
I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.
thinking people touring
I think if you retire from touring then people think you are retired.
