My mind is cautious but my heart is in a hurry.

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.

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

I've been to two concerts in the last 10 years.Bob Seger and the Eagles.

I've been a lifetime Democrat, and I'm re-registering this year as an independent. It's strictly [because] my party, that I've been affiliated with all these years, doesn't stand for anything that I stand for anymore. They've lost any sensibility that they had, and they've allowed all the kooks in, so I'm going independent.

I get more respect from rap artists than I do from my own industry. I don't always write the kind of music that country executives want. Rappers are like that too .. my words come from the street, and their words come from the street. That slicked-up pop stuff doesn't come from the street, it's all pre-fab.

... I like the clubs because ... we have two or three acoustic guitars up there and we're not hard-core slamming or stomping through the music. We're singing it with intricate harmonies and really showing the craftsmanship.
