• In the early days, Porter Wagoner would not exactly scold me, but he's say, 'You're writing too many damn verses. You're makin' these songs too damn long.' And I'd say, 'Yeah, but I'm tellin' a story. I have a story to tell.' And he'd say, 'Well, you're not going to get it on the radio.' If I start writing a song, I'm writing it for a reason. People would say that I had to have two verses, and a chorus, and a bridge. I tried to learn that formula.

• As a songwriter, you're allowed to write anything, and as a person, I am all colors in the rainbow. I've been through everything, you know, so I can write a positive song like 'Better Get to Livin'' because that's my attitude. But that doesn't mean I'm happy all the time. You can't be a deep and serious songwriter without feelings. You kinda have to live with your feelings out on your sleeve and get hurt more than most people. The fear I might get hurt means I might not be able to write another song.

  Song: More Than I Can Say, Album: Rainbow

• If I should stay
  I would only be in your way
  So I'll go, but I know
  I'll think of you each step of the way
  And I will always love you
  I will always love you
  Bitter sweet Memories
  That's all I am taking with me
  Good-bye. Please don't cry
  We both know that I'm not
  What you need
  But I will always love you
  I will always love you.
