Dreams Are Of No Value If They

My Husband Calls Me 'catfish.' He Says I'm All Mouth And No Brains.

I Think My Life Actually Changed At 40. That's When You Realize You Can't Ride The Fence Anymore. You Either Have To Get On One Side Or The Other. I Think Some Of My Best Years Were Between 40 And 50: I Got My Priorities Straight And Life Is Good To Me Now. It's Only Other People Who Say, "god, She's 50 Years Old!" As If I'm Over The Hill. I Feel Like I Just Started.

In The Early Days, Porter Wagoner Would Not Exactly Scold Me, But He's Say, 'you're Writing Too Many Damn Verses. You're Makin' These Songs Too Damn Long.' And I'd Say, 'yeah, But I'm Tellin' A Story. I Have A Story To Tell.' And He'd Say, 'well, You're Not Going To Get It On The Radio.' If I Start Writing A Song, I'm Writing It For A Reason. People Would Say That I Had To Have Two Verses, And A Chorus, And A Bridge. I Tried To Learn That Formula.

Speaking Of The Devil, Well Here He Comes Now. Got My Defenses Down. And I'd Go Through Hell To Make Him Mine.

What People Do Behind Closed Doors Is Certainly Not My Concern Unless I'm There With Them.
