The road is a fun place, and it's a great place to get out there and explore the country. But as far as the road life with the 'rock n' roll temptations,' there's not much of that with me.

It's so surreal being here.

I'm still single, but me and Lauren are really really really close friends.

There will be a lot of fun things happening. Looking forward to singing on the ship!

Country music is me, it's what I've grown up with, and it's what I do.

You gotta *be* country music - you can't just sing it.

I've dealt with losing close ones before, and I've been around friends that have lost friends at a young age. I think it's important to think about - not necessarily death, but about life and think about where you're going and how you want to be remembered and the legacy you want to leave.
