Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story.

The world situation being what it is, I have a lot to say, ... And I figure as long as I've got something to talk about, I'll probably keep talking.

You don't paddle against the current, you paddle with it. And if you get good at it, you throw away the oars.

If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

Tell the truth. Sing with passion. Work with laughter. Love with heart. 'Cause that's all that matters in the end.

I don't write as much as I did back when I was writing songs every day, ... But when current events and world situations get in your brain, that's the way I sort it out.

How can you tell?
