I know not every song has to be a powerful message.

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

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.

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!

I'm a really huge John Prine fan; I love his clever conversationalist songs.

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.
