Raise up your glasses against evil forces; Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses.

Somebody's sexual preference is, like, who cares?

There ain't no justice, laws of nature rule this land. Better hide your horses, bury your whiskey.

Writing is not work. In fact, theres nothing better. Writing is something that if the music business went completely away tomorrow - radio stations quit existing and music quit being popular and it was old hat - I would still write songs.

I was raised in bars. My grandmother had one, and when I was 12 years old I'd go stay with her and that's where I got to watch her band play -- she had a seven or eight-piece band, and I would sit in the kitchen and peek through the door. I was kind of a 12-year-old bottle washer.

It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground, send them all to their maker and he'll settle them down.

My fans have been very loyal to me, so I want 'em into the mix every song. I don't want 'em having breaks on stuff I'm trying to push on them.
