Its Five O'clock Some Where

I Learned From My Mom That You Should Always Try To Enjoy Life, No Matter What.

When I Started Playing Music At East Tennessee State University I Would Sit On A Stool With A Tip Jar In Front Of Me And Play Four Hours A Night At A College Bar Called Quarterback's Barbecue. I Wasn't Thinking About Doing It For A Living. I Was Just Making Enough Money To Go To Taco Bell Every Day. People Were Eating Chips, Drinking Beer And Not Listening To Me. I'd Had Three Or Four Years Of People Ignoring Me, And I'd Kind Of Gotten Used To It.

Music's Supposed To Come From The Heart. I Felt Like That If It Ever Got Mechanical, I Was Going To Back Away From It.

When I'm A Ship Tossed Around On The Waves, Up On A Highwire That's Ready To Break. When I've Had Just About All I Can Take, Baby You Save Me

An Important Mentor For Me, In Terms Of Teaching Me That There's A Right Way And A Wrong Way To Do Things, Was Probably My Football Coach. And Playing Football Was One Of The First Times In My Life That I Realized Nothing Is Given To You. You Have To Work Really Hard.
