I Don't Like Politics, Hypocrites,

You Think About People Like Hank Williams, Who Stood On That Spot Of Wood, And Mr. Acuff, And, Of Course, George Jones. And Just About Anybody You Can Think Of Who Has Made Country Music Has Been On That Stage. That's What Makes You So Nervous - To Think About The Historical Part Of The Opry And How It's Played Such A Part In Country Music.

I Could Have Done A Hundred Songs, Really. It Was Hard To Narrow Them Down, Because I Tried To Pick Songs For The Most Part That Actually Did Have Some Effect On Me Or Influenced Me In The Past.

"after 17" Is A Song I Wrote When My First Daughter Went To College, So That's Kind Of Where I'm At In That Part Of My Life. If You Listen To That Song And Knew Anything About Me, You'd Say, "oh Yeah, He Wrote That About His Daughter," But I Try Not To Write Them That They Are So Specific That They Wouldn't Apply To Anybody That Has A Child.

I Don't Like Politics, Hypocrites, Folks With Poodles.

What I Enjoy Doing More Than Anything Is, I Have My Little Antique Car Collection, And When The Weather Is Pretty I Like To Get Out One Of My Old Cars. I Have A Little Route I Run Down In The Country, Down Nachez Trace Parkway. The Loop Down Through There Is Just Really Relaxing, Not Much Traffic.
