I Try Not To Go Around Looking

My First Job Was Singing On The Cas Walker Radio Show In Knoxville, Tennessee. I Was About 10 Years Old And I Thought It Was Big Time.

I Usually Get Up At 3 A.m. I Don't Require A Lot Of Sleep, And If I Get Tired, I'll Take A Powernap During The Day.

My Best Country Record Only Sold 200,000 Copies. I Didn't Have Enough Money For The Band And The Arrangements And The Costumes And All. I Had To Move Into Wider Fields.

I've Struggled Enough In My Life To Be Appreciated And Understood. I've Had To Go Against All Kinds Of People Through The Years Just To Be Myself. I Think Everybody Should Be Allowed To Be Who They Are, And To Love Who They Love. I Don't Think We Should Be Judgmental. Lord, I've Got Enough Problems Of My Own To Pass Judgment On Somebody Else.

As A Songwriter, You Respect And Appreciate The Writings Of Other People, And I Often Get Asked, Are There Songs Out There I Wish I'd Written? Yes. There's Many Of Them!
