I can remember sittin in a cafe when I first started in rodeo, and waitin until somebody got done so I could finish what they left.
Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?
Sit tall in the saddle and hold your head up high. Keep your eyes fixed where the trail meets the sky, and live like you ain't afraid to die. Don't be scared...just enjoy the ride.
Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.
My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.
My partner and I won the race, and I threw my hat into the air and bent to pick it up. Everyone started laughin' because I had split the back end of my pants out, and I wasn't wearing shorts.
I had to give everything I had to one event if I wanted to excel.
This record is probably as easy as anything I've ever done.
When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song.
I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.
When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.
