I think the attraction to country music is the fans, the lure of the hardcore fan base.
Alcohol is perfect for me to curb the nerves a little bit.
Anytime I sing the anthem, it is an honor and my heart beats out of my chest.
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.
My focus is trying to make great music and putting on great shows, and whatever happens beyond that is a bonus to me.
I will always really work hard to write as much as I can, but I also love sitting back and waiting on those big Nashville songwriters to send me some great songs, too.
