Billy Currington Quotes & Trivia

Quotes

Billy: I go to all of these small towns often and it seems like there isn’t much there. That’s how it was where I grew up. You walked the railroad tracks or walked down to the store or sat in your backyard. It’s all a part of the slow life. You aren’t battling 20 red lights and horns and sirens and having to get from job to job.

Billy: The bigger and better is nice. The hotels are nice and visiting different countries is great. But I always try to picture it at the end. When you are 80, what are you really going to want? What’s really going to matter? It’s not a lot of materialistic things for me. It’s just maybe a front porch, a couple of rocking chairs, a simple life.
