“I’m usually just enjoying life.”

Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.

What I enjoy doing more than anything is.

All you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there.

I think every album you have, especially if it’s done well, you feel like you’re competing with yourself.

They’re just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It’s that way everywhere.

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?

To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville.

Half of them I’d hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn’t even know it.

The music business doesn’t take up that much of my time.

Everybody was going on about it, so mom started hounding me more.

I have my little antique car collection, and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars.

Love is stolen in the shadows of the night. Though it’s wrong all along, it keeps going on as long as they keep it out of sight.

I have a little route I run down in the country, down Nachez Trace Parkway.

Pour me something tall and strong, make it a Hurricane before I go insane.

When I was in high school, I don’t know that I really had big dreams.

If you listen to that song and knew anything about me, you’d say, “Oh yeah, he wrote that about his daughter,” but I try not to write them that they are so specific that they wouldn’t apply to anybody that has a child.

If there are dominant teams, people enjoy discussing whether that’s good or bad for the game.

I don’t think any decent human being enjoys recruiting.

The manager is by himself. He can’t mingle with his players. I enjoyed my players.

And if there aren’t any dominant teams, then people enjoy discussing that.

I went to all the Love-Ins. I took my kids. I enjoyed myself.

It started getting debilitating. I enjoy my music a lot better than my drugs.

I’ve been given a second chance in life, and I don’t want to let a minute go by without enjoying it.

Part of the middle class promise is that, after a lifetime of hard work, you’ll be able to retire and enjoy the fruits of that labor.
