True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt.

Choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance the tide.

And now, I'm glad I didn't know the way it all would end, the way it all would go. Our lives are better left to chance, I could've missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the Dance.

People said, 'How could you walk away from music?' But being a dad - there's nothing that can touch that.

Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers. Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs; that just because he doesn't answer doesn't mean he don't care. Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
