I'd say three years ago we played in my hometown of San Antonio for 55,000 people at the Alamodome and walking out there with a crowd like that is just, you're excited, you're scared. There are just so many emotions going on. I still get nervous for things like that until after I sing about the first one or two songs, then I settle down.
I'm going to write, and after two years, when I've quit touring, if a special event comes up that I want to do, by all means I will do it, but as far as a structured tour goes, at the last date of 2014 goes, that will be it for touring.
I don't mind traveling that much when I can go somewhere and stay there for a while, but touring is different. You rarely see anything. You get there early in the morning and you're resting all day, and you go in and do a sound check, and you do the show, and then bam you're gone.
We work hard when we're in the studio, but then when we take our breaks, we walk outside and look around.
I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.
As we look into the future, it's as far as we can see. So let's make each tomorrow be the best that it can be.
Life's not breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.
You will always be the miracle that makes my life complete. And as long as there is breath in me, I'll make yours just as sweet.
I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo is where I'll be.
From here on after let's stay the way we are right now. And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.
I'm not here for a long time. I'm here for a short time
I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.
All my ex's live in Texas, And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be, But all my ex's live in Texas, Therefore I reside in Tennessee
I used to do a lot of interviews in the early '80s, when my career started, but it came to a point when I decided I didn't want to talk anymore, and people kind of understood that and left me alone.
