My best year I made $25,000. Of course, that was back in the '70s.

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.

You hope your buddies will win so you don't have to loan them any money.

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.

I admire bull riders for their passion and the uniqueness each one of them has.

Anything to do with the land, I love.

So it's probably eighty percent luck and twenty percent skill.

Shoot, every time you get on an animal, you take your life in your hands.

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.

Why not just do something a little more on the gentle side?

Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life.

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.
