littles energy should
The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
stars crazy thinking
You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.
cancer scary
It's a scary word, 'cancer.
home years time-away
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
years lasts mature
If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.
retirement long albums
As long as I'm still able to have a hit on the radio and sell a few albums and some tickets, I don't see that it would be worth retiring.
strong past alcohol
Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane. It's only half past twelve but I don't care, it's 5 O'clock somewhere.
song singing half
Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.
thinking albums done
I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.
mom mother albums
My mother kept asking me, 'When are you going to do a gospel album?' And I've always wanted to do a gospel album. Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.
song support radio
I've always said that if you have songs on the radio and get played, you've got to have a tour to support that.
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 past done
I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.
baby boys four
I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.
