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.
song men working-man
I've had several working-man songs that I like.
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.
oklahoma
Oklahoma's always been good to me.
home years time-away
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
thinking trying criticism
You have to be tough-skinned and willing to accept criticism, and at the same time, just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it's going to take to get you on the radio.
song writing people
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't; they want that positive, uptempo thing.
writing happens
You just write about things that happen.
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.
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.
grandma years two
I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.
song men perfect
He's written some great songs. I thought that "Blues Man" was a perfect song for me to do as a tribute.
mean thinking voice
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
thinking trying fans
I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
