Deep down, I'm just a West Virginia hillbilly.

When Ray Flacke came out, it was like 'What in the heck is this?' ... there's a guy who had that Tele players attitude, and he plugged straight into that amp with a delay, and it was unbelievable the way he would bend those big strings ... he was really unique.

Can't wait to date a supermodel, can't wait to sue my Dad. Can't wait to wreck a Ferrari, on the way to rehab.

Pilgrims travel to Jerusalem to see the Holy Land, and the foundations of their faith. People go to Washington, D.C. to see the workings of government, and the foundation of our country. And fans flock to Nashville to see the foundation of country music, the Grand Ole Opry.

As a guitar player, it's harder for me to impress somebody than it is to write a song that they like.

I can fall in and out of love, have marriages that barely last a month. When they go down the drain, I'll blame it on the fame.

This is real, this is your life in a song...this is country music.
