But if they ever saw a sunrise on a mountain morning/Watched those cotton candy clouds roll by/They'd know why I live beneath these Western Skies.
I only won $250 all summer. And then I got crippled. I had a horse step on me while performing and it was messed up for a while.
Tires were so bald on the truck that the air was showin' through, and I had to drive 50 miles an hour because the vibration was so bad.
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.
Shoot, every time you get on an animal, you take your life in your hands.
To me, Garth, he's kind of like my guardian angel. It's like every time I need some help, he's there.
I've had this song in a drawer for a long time, maybe seven or eight years. Every time I'd do an album, I'd take it out and listen to it, and always liked what it had to say. Plus when Garth came in and sang on it, that made it really special.
Anything to do with the land, I love.
Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. They're just goin' all the time.
Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.
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.
Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself.
I really didn't go that hard, although a couple of years I did. Some guys work 125 to 130 rodeos a year. they're just goin' all the time.
You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor.
