More quotes by Steve Earle
I'm from Texas. I hitchhiked to Tennessee when I was 19 years old, and it is really beautiful in Tennessee.

I'll never believe that Americans have racticed in our history anything close to the purest form of democracy of the world.

I think it's obvious that democracy is something that is contagious, and it always has been.
Steve Earle
You can go out and find ways to make your own record and get it out there now. If you really want to, you can be heard. Keep things simple. Learn to go out and play solo. That's a really really good thing to learn, if you're a singer-songwriter. Don't be dependent on a band because you may not always be able to afford one.
Steve Earle
Greg Trooper writes great songs, including one of my very favorite songs in the world, Little Sister. On top of all that, there's his voice - an instrument I have coveted for 15 years.
Steve Earle
I don't think I'm a political songwriter as much as I am just a political person. I think it's in my fabric.
Steve Earle
I'm used to writing stories with a beginning a middle and an end in four minutes.
Steve Earle
What saves me from being a drug addict is sort of the opposite. It's me realizing that I don't really control anything.
Steve Earle
