There was this long lovely dancer in a little club downtown, love to watch her do her stuff.
And you pretend it doesn’t bother you, When you just want to explode...
She gave me a false address, took off with my American Express, sunspot baby, sure had me way out guessed.
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time.
I can only get my drummer in the winter; he plays with Grand Funk all summer.
I want to be sure I can deliver what people expect to hear. I just don’t know if I can physically do it. Or if I should.
Even in junior high, I always knew I had a talent for music and I knew I could make money that way.
I drive a Mustang. A 2005 five-speed GT convertible.
I always loved music. You know, my parents said I started singing when I was 4, in the car.
Every now and then you’ll nail one that’s really, really special. And that’s what you live for.
My management tells me, Don’t be optimistic, because it’s the young people’s world now. They want to hear what they want to hear, and you’re a classic rocker. I don’t know if you’re gonna get the play.
I had the opportunity to be around my kids a lot. I guess I could have kept working, but I had them when I was 47. You only get to see all this stuff once. I just chose to work at home and watch them.
I’m really glad I didn’t have kids earlier, because I probably would have ignored them. I was so into my career. I could just go and play a ton of shows, night after night after night. I can’t do that anymore.
The two hours onstage is great. But I can only play a show and then take a night off. I have to sing for two hours, and then I’ve gotta rest it for a night. So it’s the other 46 hours that are just boring as heck.
Radio is so fragmented, it’s unbelievable.
I’m older now but still running against the wind.
You’re not going to hear me do a rap song, you’re not going to hear me do a jazz song. We have to be true to our roots, do what we do, and try to do it a little better each time.
I’m not a number. Dammit, I’m a man.
I really like the thing I did with Martina McBride. I had that song sitting around for a long time.
I think I’m going to Katmandu, that’s really, really where I’m going to.
