It is my duty to be a father to my kids.

Hate me if you want to, love me if you can.

Kids on the Youtube, learning how to be cool.

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

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

Justice is the one thing you should always find.

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

Don't compromise even if it hurts to be yourself.

My mom taught us the Serenity Prayer at a young age.

Don't apologize for being patriotic. Support the troops

I have drawn a very close bond to all the military people.

There's some nights I can't remember with friends I can't forget.

I ain't as good as I once was, But I'm as good once as I ever was.

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

I'd catch moonlight in a bottle, if we could drink a toast to happiness.

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

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

That's more along what the story is, as opposed to me being onstage singing.

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

I sobered up and I got to thinking, girl, you ain't much fun since I quit drinking.

I agree: Americans can be very apathetic. We're not proactive. We sit and watch TV.

Somebody said they seen her heading out of town, now she ran away with a rodeo clown.

I say if you're going to take a chance on something, you just go full balls to the wall.

I want people raising my kid that see along the same lines of values and issues as I do.

There's something I'm afraid to say to you too early, but I'd be a fool to wait too late.

A little blue-eyed blonde in a red hot sweater, wants to spice my chili, I think I'll let her.

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

When I go in and vote, I vote for the person I think will get the job done.I don't vote right-left.

My deal will always be one solo performance-nominated or not. Not some thrown together rock tribute.

We turned what is virtually a glorified independent label into one of the powerhouse labels in the town.

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.

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.

We ain't got a lot, but we don't need anything. Covered in kisses, surrounded by love, showered with blessings from up above.

I'm not a political guy. I've been a Democrat my whole life, but that didn't mean I went in and just pulled the Democratic ticket.

I don't give a bleep if gays get married. That's just a contract, and that's between them and God. That ain't up to me to play God on that.

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.

I write all year long, and at the end of the year I pull these forty or fifty things out and say, 'Which of these things do I want to record?'

I'm not the kind of man that holds out on a need for nothing. I'm as lonely as any man around, I just don't like to pick 'em up and lay 'em down.

My first gig, I was about 17 or 18. But I'd been singing a long time. I got a guitar when I was 8, and started trying to write songs as a teenager.

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.

A sucker punch came flying from somewhere in the back. As soon as we can see clearly with our big black eye, we're going to light up your world like the fourth of July.

I'm influenced by all kinds of music. I have a very diverse iPod. You never know if I've got it on shuffle. You never know what you are going to hear next. I like all genres.

We try to buy as much American-made shirts as we can and stuff to sell. It's very difficult to cover every base as much as our country has been saturated with foreign products.

When I came to DreamWorks, I was in bad trouble. They were in bad trouble. They were millions of dollars in the hole and a few days from closing their doors. I was on my last leg.

I've always said I can't tell sometimes that people even have an album out until I see them nominated for a Grammy. I think country gets dumped on across the board by the Grammys.

I always vote for the guy I think can get it done. And it ain't nobody's business who I vote for, but I voted for Clinton twice. And that just blows people's minds when they hear that.

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.
