When you write songs, you gotta be like a receiving station: you gotta be aware of what's going on around you. I never know what a song is going to be about before I write it.

Down in Louisiana where the alligators grow so mean, there lived a girl that I swear to the world made the alligators look tame.
Tony Joe White
I've been very lucky, man. Like you say, though, the writing is what kicked all that in and made it possible. It's something that I have always been very thankful of, that that kicked in, and that I could be free with the music.
