The Face That's In The Mirror When

I Think Of Myself As A Serious Artist. Sometimes You Can Get In Your Head Too Much About That And Forget That You Have To Have Fun. I've Been Guilty In My Career About That At Times. But The More I Thought About It, The More I Thought I Didn't Want Anybody Else To Have A Hit With It!

People Always Ask Me "son What Does It Take To Reach Out And Touch Your Dreams?" To Them I Always Say Are You Hungry? Are You Thirsty? Is It A Fire That Burns You Up Inside? How Bad Do You Want It? How Bad Do You Need It? Are You Eating, Sleeping, Dreaming With That One Thing On Your Mind? How Bad Do You Want It? How Bad Do You Need It? Cause If You Want It All You've Got To Lay It All Out On The Line.

Some Say It's Too Country, Some Say It's Too Rock N' Roll. But It's Just Good Music If You Can Feel It In Your Soul.

When I First Started, I Was Really Nervous. You Could Hear My Voice Quiver. So I Started Drinking A Bit And That Helped. A Lot Of Entertainers Have A Few Drinks Before Going Onstage And Don't Overdo It. Me, It Turned Into A Bigger Habit. But I Stopped That. I Was Getting Older, And I Was Thinking About My Kids. There's Enough Roadblocks Out There Without Throwing In More Yourself.

I Get Ticked Off A Lot Because I Don't Think She [faith Hill] Gets The Respect She Deserves. I Tell Her All The Time, "if You Were 300 Pounds And Dog Ugly, People Would Think You Were The Greatest Singer In The World." They Have The Tendency To Look At Her And Never Really Listen To Her. The Reason It Works Is She's A Fantastic Artist. It's Almost Embarrassing For Me To Sing With Her Sometimes.
