You always have to work to become a better singer, songwriter and performer.

'Dirt Road Diaries,' in my mind, is a perfect country guy song. It speaks to the hard-working guy, and I'm excited for the fans to hear that one.

I'm a really, really optimistic and really, really positive person. My main thing is, 'Enjoy life. Celebrate life.'

Even with all the negativeness of the whole social media thing, I still think it's leaps and bounds more positive.

My main thing is I'm gonna go out there every night and give it all I got and just try to put on the best show I can. That's just the way I'm programmed and wired.

A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues.

Every day I wake up and I lay in bed counting my blessings and saying my prayers for how fortunate I am to have great fans and health and family.
