Nothing Positive At All In

I Do Sing About Drinking, But It's In A Party Way. I Don't Sing About Drinking In A Drowning-my-sorrows Way, Like In George Jones's "if Drinking Don't Kill Me (her Memory Will)."

My Mother Is A Very Fun-loving Person. She Has Been Through A Lot In Her Life. She Has Had A Couple Of Divorces. When I Was In High School She Was A Single Mother. That's When I Learned To Do My Own Laundry.

I Can't Believe That I Get To Stand On The Stages I Stand On Every Summer, And Get To Sing The Songs That I Sing.

As A Songwriter, You're Never Off - For Me, Anyway. There's A Certain Mentality Of People That Decide, "oh, We're Going To Try To Write Songs From This Time Of The Day To This Time Of The Day." Almost Treat It Like A Real Job. I Can't Do That. I've Never Been Able To Write Songs Like That. You Never Know When Something Creative Is Going To Hit You, Or Emotion Or Whatever. You Can Take It, And Turn It Into Something That Makes Somebody Feel Something. I Love That About My Job.
