A great song will be great forever - it's timeless and classic in that way.

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

Different people have different ways of doing things. For me, becoming a songwriter first and falling in love with the Nashville songwriting community and the process of songs and getting better and putting more in what I wanted to say, was absolutely vital in me even wanting to be an artist.

A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.

I used to write poems more when I was younger, but I haven't in a long time. I just write ideas and paragraphs and go from there.

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.

I burned my own damn finger pokin' someone else's fire
