A Lot Of Songs You Write Are

Country Music Is Three Chords And The Truth.

I Usually Start With A Title Or Maybe A Little Rhyme Or Phrase.

I Take A Whole Life Story And Compress It Into Three Minutes.

I Was Captured By The Songs As Much As The Singer. They Grabbed My Heart. The Reality Of Country Music Moved Me. Even When I Was A Kid, I Liked The Sad Songs... Songs That Talked About True Life. I Recognized This Music As A Simple Plea. It Beckoned Me.

A Lot Of Songs You Write Are Just For Exercise - Just Pencil Sharpeners.
