Raise Up Your Glasses Against

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.

If We Were To Sit And Discuss Abortion And Legalizing Marijuana And Gay Marriage And All Those Things, You'd Be Surprised Where You'd See Me On The Side Of Some Of That Stuff. People Get Their Opinions - As Soon As You're A Real Flag-waving Patriot, Then All Of A Sudden You're A Conservative.

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.

If I Hear A Conversation And Somebody Says Something Intriguing, My First Thought Is, Is That A Song? 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.

Don't Apologize For Being Patriotic. Support The Troops
