My Deal Will Always Be

I'd Had My Whole Life To Write My First Album. I Had My No. 1 And My Third Single Out, And They Go, 'hey, Guess What? We Need To Start Recording The Next One.' I'm Like, 'uh Oh, I Got To Write Another Album. Well, How Am I Gonna Write 'should've Been A Cowboy' And 'ain't Worth Missing' And All That Again?' It Took Me Forever To Write The First One.

I Get More Respect From Rap Artists Than I Do From My Own Industry. I Don't Always Write The Kind Of Music That Country Executives Want. Rappers Are Like That Too .. My Words Come From The Street, And Their Words Come From The Street. That Slicked-up Pop Stuff Doesn't Come From The Street, It's All Pre-fab.

Where Did I Surrender, Can You Tell Me How And When. I'm The One Who's Always In Control. Leading With My Heart Like There Is Nothing To Defend As I Lay It All Out On The Line Body And Soul. I've Never Let Another In So Soon.

I've Been A Lifetime Democrat, And I'm Re-registering This Year As An Independent. It's Strictly [because] My Party, That I've Been Affiliated With All These Years, Doesn't Stand For Anything That I Stand For Anymore. They've Lost Any Sensibility That They Had, And They've Allowed All The Kooks In, So I'm Going Independent.
