The Last 16 Years Of My Daddys

A Guy Said To Me, 'you're So Lucky. You Have People Like Ray Charles, Barbra Streisand And The Beatles Doing Your Songs.' I Figured Out, Though, The Harder I Work The Luckier I Get. The Secret Of Anything Is To Surround Yourself With Good People If You Want A Good Product.

I Was Always Very Grateful To 'em And Am Grateful To 'em Now. I Went Back A Couple Of Years Ago And Did Their 20th Anniversary Show. But The Longer I Stayed On Hee Haw, The Worse Things Got For Me Musically.

That Was Where My Dream Began To Take Hold, Of Not Havin' To Pick Cotton And Potatoes, And Not Havin' To Be Uncomfortable, Too Hot Or Too Cold. That In Itself Had Driven Me To Try To Find Some Better Way Of Life.

If You Want Me In The Hall Of Fame Put Me In Because Of Some Contributions That I Have Made To Country Music.

I'm Gonna Still Play Some Dates, But I'm Not Gonna Do Anything Near Like I Did It Before.
