“Songwriters write songs, but they really belong to the listener.”

“Life was just a tire swing.'Jambalaya' was the only song I could sing.Blackberry pickin', eatin' fried chicken,And I never knew a thing about pain.Life was just a tire swing.”

“I come from the ocean with songs of the seaNo lesson for learning, just play upon meNow go make your music in lands near and farOrion protects you wherever you are”

“That to me is the way any good romantic would look at his life: Live it first, then write it down before you go.”

“I just want to live happily ever after, every now and then.”

“If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane.”

“Some of its magic, some its tragic, but I've had a good life along theway.”
