Everyone talks about new love all the time, but there’s so much to draw from when you’ve been in a longer relationship. It makes me stick my chest out a little bit. It’s like, ‘I know what you’ve been through, but you don’t know what it’s like over here.’ Dierks Bentley Read Quote
I listen to all types of music, but big rock records are the ones that, in the walk-up, make me wonder, ‘What’s this next set going to sound like?’ Dierks Bentley Read Quote

Honestly, I sleep best wearing nothing. But with kids, I’ve learned to sleep with underwear very close by, if not wrapped around one of my feet, so I’m ready to go if something happens. Dierks Bentley Read Quote
A Sunday morning spent reading the paper together, maybe drinking some mimosas, alone, and talking until noon. That would be pretty amazing. Married couples with kids will understand. Dierks Bentley Read Quote
I remember somewhere in his 70s, my dad started wearing a nightgown – like an old-school grandpa gown! I can see how that might be somewhere in my future. Dierks Bentley Read Quote
I hope fans walk away still feeling like their batteries are charged. I want fans walking away high-fiving strangers. Dierks Bentley Read Quote
