More quotes by Alan Jackson
Tonight I'm the designated drinker.
Alan Jackson
To me, songwriting is the backbone of Nashville. Looks can go, fads can go, but a good song lasts forever.
Alan Jackson
A country song is a song about life.
Alan Jackson
You just write about things that happen.
Alan Jackson
I always try to make the music that I like and think my fans will like.
Alan Jackson
If anything good came out of 9/11, to me, was that people were so cynical about the world - all you hear about on the news is all the bad stuff everyday, but what was refreshing to me was after that, you saw how many good people there are out there. For every one bad one, there's a thousand good ones.
Alan Jackson
After 17 is a song I wrote when my first daughter went to college, so that's kind of where I'm at in that part of my life. If you listen to that song and knew anything about me, you'd say, Oh yeah, he wrote that about his daughter, but I try not to write them that they are so specific that they wouldn't apply to anybody that has a child.
Alan Jackson
I grew up with nothing, so whenever I got to where I could have something I felt like I needed to have everything I couldn't have when I was young.
Alan Jackson
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.
Alan Jackson
I think every album you have, especially if it's done well, you feel like you're competing with yourself.
Alan Jackson
You have to be tough-skinned and willing to accept criticism, and at the same time, just try to do music that you like and you are proud of and not just whatever you think it's going to take to get you on the radio.
Alan Jackson
What I enjoy doing more than anything is, I have my little antique car collection, and when the weather is pretty I like to get out one of my old cars. I have a little route I run down in the country, down Nachez Trace Parkway. The loop down through there is just really relaxing, not much traffic.
Alan Jackson
I like to write sad songs. They're much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people don't want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesn't they want that positive, uptempo thing.
Alan Jackson
I don't write all my stuff. Everybody always thinks that. But in just about every album I've ever had has been about 50-50 songs I've written or co-written and other people's songs.
Alan Jackson
If you can last until you're 40 years old, hopefully you'll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.
Alan Jackson
Faith, hope, and love are some good things He gave us but the greatest is love
Alan Jackson
I've had to live with women all my life. I grew up with four older sisters, and I was the baby and the only boy.
Alan Jackson
A lot of times when songwriters get together and write a song... somebody will come in with a hook and a lot of times they come out with something that sounds a little crafty.
Alan Jackson
Oklahoma's always been good to me.
Alan Jackson
