More quotes by Alan Jackson
I mean, my voice has gotten a little deeper sounding as I've gotten older, I think. I noticed that.
Alan Jackson
I've had several working-man songs that I like.
Alan Jackson
The fan base that I've had all these years has come along. Some of them are not as plugged into the digital world, so they want to go out and buy the CD at Walmart or something.
Alan Jackson
Probably some of the songs I never even really listened to the lyrics. Half of them I'd hear off the radio and was probably singing the wrong words and didn't even know it.
Alan Jackson
A country song is a song about life.
Alan Jackson
I've always wanted to make a bluegrass album.
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
Growing up in Georgia, I used to think people up north or out west were so different. They're really not. They're just regular people who live in small towns. They grow up and try to raise families and have a job and go to church and play softball. It's that way everywhere.
Alan Jackson
When I was in high school, I don't know that I really had big dreams.
Alan Jackson
I'm hooked on my baby's love, there ain't nothing in the jug this strong.
Alan Jackson
I could have done a hundred songs, really. It was hard to narrow them down, because I tried to pick songs for the most part that actually did have some effect on me or influenced me in the past.
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
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear of your neighbor or did you just sit down and cry?..
Alan Jackson
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
Alan Jackson
The music business doesn't take up that much of my time. I probably should put a little more energy into it.
Alan Jackson
Oklahoma's always been good to me.
Alan Jackson
I think if you retire from touring, then people think you are retired.
Alan Jackson
I didn't realize until I was older what a huge music fan my daddy really was, and actually that my grandma played banjo at one time, and I didn't even know that until a year or two ago.
Alan Jackson
If you just do 50 to 60 shows a year, it's not that much time away from home.
Alan Jackson
You think a lot of people get to be big stars and get a little crazy, but most of the ones I've ever met have always been surprisingly normal, and I've enjoyed that.
Alan Jackson
