You can lead a heart to love, but you can't make it fall.

It's been a long hard ride. See you on the other side

You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever.

The almighty dollar and the lust for world wide fame, slowly killed tradition, and for that someone should hang.

On the Richter scale of love and romance, you've hit a twelve.

I'm the luckiest man alive, this is the best day of my life.

I listen to Mark Chestnutt and think he's a great singer - and he really does good material.

I need someone like me.

I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.

Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.

Baby fall into my kiss
It should just happen like this ...
... drink up this love ...

My weakness for beautiful women is my most expensive vice, I still believe in matrimony, but I can't afford another try.

Country music and just music in general really lost a great friend today,

I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.

You're the only one and only
My heart's beating for
I love you, need I say more

I was a young troubadour when I rode in on a song. And, I'll be an old troubadour when I'm gone.

Of all the songs I've recorded, 'Amarillo By Morning' always sticks out in my mind.

I think that all my albums are different enough where I don't feel like I did this the last time.

I ain't rich, but Lord I'm free. Amarillo by morning, Amarillo is where I'll be.

I got ex's all across the country and I owe everybody in town. I got bill collectors a callin' me up, and lawyers trying to track me down.

Life is not the breaths you take but the moments that take your breath away.

All my ex's live in Texas, And Texas is the place I'd dearly love to be, But all my ex's live in Texas, Therefore I reside in Tennessee

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?

I'm glad He had the never while staring into space, to give this universe a time and place.

I've been fortunate.

I like people who are loyal to me, and I like to be loyal, too.

In the beginning, I wanted to be successful. I wanted to make and have hit records.

We work hard when we're in the studio, but then when we take our breaks, we walk outside and look around.

In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.

I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.
