real love-you cooking
I love your cooking, honey, but sometimes I need some real food.
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.
home years time-away
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
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.
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.
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.
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.
country stood-up
I've always stood up for country music.
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.
