I Will Never Retire Unless I Have

I Love The Energy Of Children. It Makes Me Feel Young. I'm Just Drawn To Them. They're Like Magic To Me. And They're Drawn To Me, The Childlike Part Of Me That Never Did Grow Up.

As A Songwriter, You're Allowed To Write Anything, And As A Person, I Am All Colors In The Rainbow. I've Been Through Everything, You Know, So I Can Write A Positive Song Like 'better Get To Livin'' Because That's My Attitude. But That Doesn't Mean I'm Happy All The Time. You Can't Be A Deep And Serious Songwriter Without Feelings. You Kinda Have To Live With Your Feelings Out On Your Sleeve And Get Hurt More Than Most People. The Fear I Might Get Hurt Means I Might Not Be Able To Write Another Song.

We Could Afford The Price Of Peace. Love Is All It Costs.

I Think So Many People Live Their Whole Life In Fear And Doubt And Shame.

Most Country Songs, Certainly All The Stuff I've Written, Are Stories Driven By Characters.
