“You can’t put this possum in a cage”

Be real about what you do. Stay true to the voice inside you.

I just want to keep living on and enjoying food! Even though I’m gaining weight,

Maybe some folks drink due to body chemistry and others due to their lazy characters. Maybe some have drinking problems, while others have problems enough to drink.

Country music should speak directly and simply about the highs and lows of life. Something that anyone can relate to.

Everybody knows in the business how I feel about country music. I’m an old traditionalist. Then they just call me an old man and stuck in my old ways, but with all the fans I’ve got out there,

I took my $100,000 and bought a new Corvette, a lot of cocaine, and spent the rest on foolishness.

You never see yourself as others do but I’ve always beeen proud to be part of country music and I hope that the format is proud of me.

What a cage is to the wild beast, law is to the selfish man.

He opened her cages, and freed the things inside.

But are they protection or a cage? These ribs that ensnare my heart so.

The more you judge others. The more you cage yourself.

He was unhinged. Shameless. Everything wrong and everything right. And he held the key to my cage in his palm.
