I Realize I Was More

If Detroit Was A Watershed Concert For Me, Traveling With Willie Nelson Through Texas And Louisiana Was A Milestone Of A Different Sort.

I Always Wanted To Grow Up Fast. I Longed For More Than The Mississippi Delta Could Give.

I Was Sometimes Jeered By Black Soldiers Who Wanted Me To Sing Something Besides Country Music.

My Brothers And Sisters All Sang, Too, And They All Have Good Voices.

Early In My Career I Began Receiving Letters From A Woman In The Midwest Who Claimed To Be My Mother.
