We're Americans. I don't consider us to be evil, I just don't think we know any better. We're a really young culture. We're hillbillies, and the rest of the world sees us that way.

I'm a very disciplined person when it comes to my work, but discipline can't save m from being a drug addict.
Steve Earle
Image
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.
Steve Earle

I've been on every interstate highway in the lower forty-eight states by now and I never get tired of the view.
Steve Earle
