A long apprenticeship is the most logical way to success. The only alternative is overnight stardom, but I can't give you a formula for that. |
Do it again on the next verse, and people think you meant it. |
Everything I've ever done was out of fear of being mediocre |
I'll always be poor in my mind. |
If you hear something you like, and you're halfway like the public, chances are they'll like it too. |
Once you become predictable, no one's interested anymore. |
There is a long history in country music of songs celebrating drinking and lamenting drinking. Country songs for the most part have always been heavily rooted in reality. The first artists were the people next door. They would sing on their porch or in their living room or at a barn dance. They sang about what they knew, and a lot of that was drinking. |
You shape your own destiny. |
