Something comes along and you have to jump on and do it. You can't stop until it's done.
I watched the needle take another man.
Wise it is to comprehend the whole.
When the punk thing came along and I heard my friends saying, I hate these people with the pins in their ears. I said, Thank God, something got their attention.
The true martial artist yields to the weak, while withstanding the strong.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten
A young man of pleasure is a man of pains.
It's only a dream Just a memory without anywhere to stay
Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar, Dancing on the light from star to star. Far across the moonbeam I know that's who you are, I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire. I am just a dreamer, but you are just a dream, You could have been anyone to me. Before that moment you touched my lips That perfect feeling when time just slips Away between us on our foggy trip.
Think I'll roll another number for the road
... I have no idea who's steering, and I don't really care .. I just keep going whatever the inclination is ... there are threads that are continuous and hold everything together and a major thread is country music ...
... my songs speak for themselves. The musicians who play on them and the way they sound and where they were recorded and the way they were recorded is the old Nashville way ... they sound as country or more country than a lot of things that are on country radio...
We live in the digital age, and unfortunately it's degrading our music, not improving.
I feel like I could be likened to an old hound circling on a rug for the last five years.
