I don't think I really have any wisdom. Stay out of trouble. Good luck. Stay away from women because they will burn you, haha.

Yeah I'm chillin' on a dirt road, laid back swervin' like I'm George Jones.

Hearing people clapping draws you in pretty quick. It's like bungee cord jumping - it's a rush; you just want to do it again.

I had no idea 'Big Green Tractor' was going to be as big a hit as it was. You just can't predict those things.
