I Say If You're Going To Take

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.

I Feel An Obligation To Those People Who Are Willing To Go Lay Their Lives On The Line. These Are The Same People That When We Call On Them, And We 100 Percent Agree As A Country ... In Our Lifetime There's Gonna Be An Event Take Place ... Just Like When 9/11 Happened, Everybody Wanted To Bring Them To Justice. When We Called On The Troops, They Went In.

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 Sobered Up And I Got To Thinking, Girl, You Ain't Much Fun Since I Quit Drinking.

There's Some Nights I Can't Remember With Friends I Can't Forget.
