Don’t wreck my reputation / Let me wreck my own

Really connecting with someone and maybe opening their mind a little bit, is such a cool thing to be able to do through music.

The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It's almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and... country?

Obviously, I dont live and die by it, everything my horoscope says. But I feel like theres definitely something to it.

The idea of massive amounts of fame-having my face on Walgreens end-caps and pizza boxes-I don't fantasize about that. I'm happy with just being a songwriter. I'd rather have smaller numbers [of fans] that are really into what I'm doing than a massive amount of people that don't really know what I'm about.

Im all about small towns. I think its a great place to grow up.

Anyone singing about trucks, in any form, in any song, anywhere, literally just stop - nobody cares!
