Flying Was As Necessary To My Business

I Try To Keep My Feet On The Ground. Even Though I Appreciate The Fame And Adoration, I Remember Once I Used To Pick Cotton, And I Felt Like Even Then I Was Somebody. I Have The Same Feet, Hands And Heart Like Everyone Else. I'm Just Also Blessed With A Good Voice.

I Always Wanted To Grow Up Fast. I Longed For More Than The Mississippi Delta Could Give.

I Think There's Enough Room In Country Music For Everybody.

I Learned To Tune A Guitar By Ear. That Method Has Served Me Pretty Well.

I Was Sometimes Jeered By Black Soldiers Who Wanted Me To Sing Something Besides Country Music.
