 I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has. |
| My partner and I won the race, and I threw my hat into the air and bent to pick it up. Everyone started laughin' because I had split the back end of my pants out, and I wasn't wearing shorts. |
| In fact my son subscribes to Pro Bull Rider magazine. |
| My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s. |
| So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill. |
| And takin' a bath in the creek. That's the stuff that really made it worthwhile. Anybody can stay in a motel. |
| You get to where you kind of like it, and It's a habit That's hard to break. I still find myself sittin' in a cafe, like a pizza parlor. |
| The breeding programs for the bulls have improved significantly. The bulls are at a much higher caliber. |
| Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life. |
| You hope your buddies will win so you don't have to loan them any money. |
| I had to give everything I had to one event if I wanted to excel. |
| Tires were so bald on the truck that the air was showin' through, and I had to drive fifty miles an hour all the way out there, because the vibration was so bad. |
| Sleepin' in the truck wasn't so bad. Shoot, I kind of liked that, myself. |
| I always was one who didn't take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before. |
| They were so good that you just had to sing the song to them once and they got it. It's amazing. Sometimes it didn't come out the way you wanted, but it was good. |
| I've had this song in a drawer for a long time, maybe seven or eight years. Every time I'd do an album, I'd take it out and listen to it, and always liked what it had to say. Plus when Garth came in and sang on it, that made it really special. |
| Anything to do with the land, I love. |
| To me, Garth, he's kind of like my guardian angel. It's like every time I need some help, he's there. |
| Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side? |
| I don't know what makes a guy want to write songs and sing, but if you've got a message, you want to get it across. When I come up with an idea about the way I feel, I can really state it strongly in a song. |
