Things use to be real nice, til they got out of hand. Since they moved in, they call themselves the Taliban.

Writing songs and looking for ideas is like blinking my eyes. It's an involuntary muscle. I do it without thought.

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.

Well, I couldn't do the day-to-day stuff of being a politician or anything, but I just think everybody should have an opinion and everybody should vote, and that's what we're built on.

You've got my heart in unfamiliar territory. It's never been out here on my sleeve. But here tonight with you it's quite a different story. You bring out a side of me no one has ever seen.

I'm as strong, strong as I can be, but ooh ooh ooh, baby you leave me weak.

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