The night I announced I was getting married, Daddy paced for hours on the porch.

You don't see no city when you look at me cause country's all I am. I love runnin' barefoot through the old cornfields and I love that country ham. Well you say I'm made just to fit your plans but there's a barnyard shovel pick your hands. If your eyes are on me you're lookin' at country.

You have to be different, great or first.

I've seen things, and that's almost the same as doing them.

If I found out some gal was trying to steal my guy, I'd want to give her a black eye! Instead, I wrote this song. At the time I was writing each song [on this album], you could figure out the frame of mind I was in by listening closely. With every song I've ever recorded, I'm in it. I wouldn't write about it if I wasn't in it.

My attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.

I'd love to travel to the Holy Land.
