I believe in angels. I believe in God.

The Lord has blessed me more than I deserve.

I think it says wonders about people that can write an entire album, and put out an entire album of great songs. I mean, the Brad Paisley's, Alan Jackson especially, even Taylor Swift - those people can really pen great stuff.

I don't think there's anything wrong with singing a song and having fun with it.
