I think too many people, if you are 46 you want to look 36, and if you're 36 you want to look 26. I didn't want to do that. I've earned the gray hairs. So I wanted to show that level of honesty.

The town I came from really had one industry, and that was furniture.

I come from a long line of Sinners like me

Country fans are the best fans out there because of the loyalty, and the way that they apply your music to every aspect of their life.
