I've always been an avid reader. If I don't have a book in the car, I'll stop and pick one up just to have something to read. I don't even remember learning to read.
I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.
At the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.
I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.
That's an amazing moment, the first time you hear yourself on radio. It's still thrilling.
Once you're halfway home, you know that you can probably get the rest of the way there.
