Never settle for the path of least resistance

My first big show was with Tim McGraw and Mark Chesnutt, and that was overwhelming. There was probably 25,000 people there. I was nervous, (but it) was exhilarating.

The one who actually decided that I should keep my name was my manager, Erv Woolsey.

When you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.

His smile brought back the best times, sweet memories of nights together... stirring up those old feelings that got me thinkin' bout forever.

It takes so many people to make a success story like that. It starts with the song and the songwriters, then Mark Wright's producing, all of the players that played on it, me singing, the marketing department, the promotion department at the label... It takes a lot of people to make a hit like that.

I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.
