The Road Had The Lonely Times, But

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.

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

But Most Distinctly, I Remember Always Saying To Myself That When I Get Big, I'm Not Going To Go To Bed Hungry, I'm Not Going To Wear Hand-me-down Clothes.

I'd Like To Be Remembered As A Guy That Came Along And Did His Music, Did His Best And Showed Up On Time, Clean And Ready To Do The Job, Wrote A Few Songs And Had A Hell Of A Time.

You Get Up About 2-3 Oclock In The Morning And Get Through About 7 Or 8 And 12 Hours Later You Start All Over. Thats The Worst Kind Of Work A Person Can Do. You Have To Do These Two Shifts To Get One Day.
