Hate Me If You Want To, Love

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.

... 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.

I'd Had My Whole Life To Write My First Album. I Had My No. 1 And My Third Single Out, And They Go, 'hey, Guess What? We Need To Start Recording The Next One.' I'm Like, 'uh Oh, I Got To Write Another Album. Well, How Am I Gonna Write 'should've Been A Cowboy' And 'ain't Worth Missing' And All That Again?' It Took Me Forever To Write The First One.

I Catch As Much Hell From The Hard-core Conservative People As I Do The Far Left. The Only Difference Is That The Far Right Don't Bring The Hate To The Table That The Far Left Does. And That's My Party. They Just Deal In So Much Hate. I Mean The Far Left, Not The Democrats, The Far Left Really Deal In Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate.

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.
