It wasn't until I moved to Nashville that I realized what an amazing community it is. It's the thing I've been missing my whole career, the feeling of being able to sit around with a guitar and have people know each other's songs and know songs from people who've influenced all of us. When I moved here pretty early on Vince Gill started calling me to do guitar pulls, and I thought, gosh, this is just like heaven on earth down here.

Life's so full that you just take it one day at a time.

A lot of people seem to get preoccupied with what I'm wearing as opposed to the music.

Just wondering why I feel so all alone, why I'm a stranger in my own?

I'm standing in the desert, waiting for my ship to come in.

Love is the most important thing in life. If you don't have (a relationship), you're always looking for one.

I thrive on being on the road, waking up in a different place every day and having my life revolve around music. When you walk out in front of 300,000 people and pull it off, it validates you.
