I Don't Write All My Stuff. Everybody Always Thinks That. But In Just About Every Album I've Ever Had Has Been About 50-50 Songs I've Written Or Co-written And Other People's Songs.

There's No Hall Of Fame For That Working Class Hero, No Statue Carved Out Of Stone. And His Greatest Reward Is The Love Of A Woman And His Children.

Probably Some Of The Songs I Never Even Really Listened To The Lyrics. Half Of Them I'd Hear Off The Radio And Was Probably Singing The Wrong Words And Didn't Even Know It.

Hee Haw Was Probably My Biggest Exposure To Live Music At A Young Age, Because There Wasn't Any Live Music Around My Town And No One In My Family Played Instruments.

It's A Scary Word, 'cancer.'
