“Listening to his songs she heard nothing but bad news, still she made her mind up to try to get him win or lose.”

This is getting funny, but there ain’t nobody laughing.

He gave us all a mind to think with and to know what’s right or wrong, he is that inner spirit that keeps us strong.

I don’t think there’s anything you can do this way or that way to change anything.

But ya know what, I am a part of something that happened.

If you see me getting smaller, I’m leaving, don’t be grieving, just gotta get away from here. If you see me getting smaller, don’t worry, and no hurry, I’ve got the right to disappear.

Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today.

I could have killed her when we first met and I’ve been out of jail by now.

Those neon light nights, couldn’t stay out of fights, keeps a-haunting me in memories.

Heaven is laying in my sweet baby’s arms, hell is when my baby’s not here.

I didn’t aim at anything except good music.

There’s always one more way to do something– your way.

If we all could sound like we wanted to, we’d all sound like George Jones.

I’m a part of the music that happened. My voice is one more instrument, is what it is. So that’s the way I feel about people who “play on sessions.

I like to perform every once in a while for people who want to see me, and cut albums of music that is what I’m really about.

To me a guitar is kind of like a woman. You don’t know why you like ’em but you do.

I mean, I think we’re put here on earth to make your own destiny, to begin with.

Just get to know me. Be my friend. Just kick it with me as if I was hanging with a homeboy.

I can only get up and do my chores and push through the day and find the good in it.

That’s when you’re going to get hurt. So I play relentless.

That’s more the kind of thing that get us inspired.

When you educate without the Holy Spirit, you only get a clever devil.

Sometimes we get our hearts broken, only to have the right person come along to mend them.

I was fortunate enough to get a job at my alma mater, which brought me back to Indiana after being gone for twenty years.

I have the mentality that if you come in playing not to get hurt.
