From the cradle to the grave, temptations all around. But no matter how good the fix, its gonna take you down.
You changed my life. You changed my ways. I don't even recognize myself these days. It must be a reflection of you, only you.
Raw is a good place for an artist. It's where the truth comes out.
Life is about holding on and letting go.

The records in the house I really remember were, well, Glen Campbell's 'Wichita Lineman' and 'Galveston.' Even as a kid, I knew these songs were glorious. My dad also had records by Merle Haggard, Charley Pride, Waylon Jennings, and then there was also the Eagles and Don Henley. Anything Texas, which includes Don Henley, was big.
