Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success.
Yeah and it's over before you know it It all goes by so fast Yeah the bad nights take forever And the good nights don't ever seem to last
I don't treat the band like I'm above them or that they're a hired hand for me. We've never worked that way. So I'm a team player. I would be very uncomfortable having to do this alone.
It's always been great to be onstage. It's really effortless up there. It's not a lot of work.
If I'd had to work at Taco Bell I'd have still been out at night trying to play music.
You need eagles wings to get over things that make no sense in this world.
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing.
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
God, it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far out of reach.
I got my own way of praying.
I never could have dreamed that her heart was so wicked, but I keep coming back because it's so hard to kick it.
Just wonderin', waitin', worryin' about some silly little things, that just don't add up to nothin'.
There's a freeway running through the yard.
Bring me a girl, they're always the best. You put 'em on stage, and you have 'em undress.
