I Don't Think I'm A Political Songwriter

My Politics Were Really Radical When I Was Younger, And Then I Moderated Like Everyone Else Does When They Start Having Kids.

I Don't Care What's Happening In The Mainstream Of Country Music. I Haven't In A Long Time.

I Wasn't Raised To Not Write About Issues, And I'm Just Living In Really Politically Charged Times. You Know, I'd Rather Write Songs About Girls, But It's Just Hard To Do Right Now.

Politics Has Always Been In My Music. Anybody Who Doesn't Understand How Political "copperhead Road" Is Isn't Listening Very Well.

What Saves Me From Being A Drug Addict Is Sort Of The Opposite. It's Me Realizing That I Don't Really Control Anything.
