When I was in high school, I dont know that I really had big dreams. – Alan Jackson
I like to write sad songs. Theyre much easier to write and you get a lot more emotion into them. But people dont want to hear them as much. And radio definitely doesnt they want that positive, uptempo thing. – 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
