There's a band of studio session - hot players - that play on my albums... They're an eclectic bunch of misfits that I've worked with for years and years.

You know, I'm pro-troops, but I'm not pro-war.

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

I've written 90 percent of the songs in my career, on all my albums.

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.

Don't apologize for being patriotic. Support the troops
