Every now and then you'll nail one that's really, really special. And that's what you live for.
I always loved music. You know, my parents said I started singing when I was 4, in the car.
I'm really glad I didn't have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can't do that anymore.
I just start playing music and eventually I sing something, a line of a verse or a B section or a line of a chorus, and the line that I end up singing is related to the music I'm playing, if that makes any sense. And I go from there.

Take a lesson from the trees, watch the way they bend with each breeze, little victories.
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode, but we cannot be denied the fire inside.
You go to LA, or you go to New York, and it's really fun to go there. But they're not grounded. Everybody is just competing all the time for the limelight. It's too much entertainment industry. There are too many choices. And it's distracting to me.
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.
If I want to work, I can. If I want to play golf, or ride my motorcycle, I can. But the rest of it is family. Sometimes you're not really needed by your family, but you're there. And my kids like to know I'm there.
Mediocrity's easy, the good things take time, the great need commitment.
I guess I lost my way, there were so many roads. I was living to run, and running to live, never worried about paying or even how much I owed.
