I'm not much of a water skier, my legs are too skinny for that, so I just try to tube and have fun, just ride.

I love Tennessee, but they don't have the pine trees and the sandy soil and the black water that I grew up around.

I like to fish when it's not too hot.

When you get married and have children, and you start having hits and success and your business starts growing, there's less and less time for songwriting.

I'm normally the guy that stands off in the corner.

My first full year of touring, I did 300 days on the road. That was not including the travel time or publicity or anything else - that was just dates. I was home probably less than 50 days that year.

Don't let your children take priority over your marriage and your work and everything else.
