We ride and never worry 'bout the fall. Guess that's just the cowboy in us all.

I love my wife more than anything in the world, but boy when she had our babies, it quadrupled. There's just something about the connection.

I'm coming up on 40 next year, and after making so many records and doing music for so long, I'm looking for a change and a different perspective. And every now and then, I think I have something I want to say.

We're very blessed, just very fortunate to have the things we have.

I guess some things never change.

Like I say, I'm always writing and if something sticks, it sticks. I get to write with great songwriters in town. Lori McKenna is one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters who's ever walked the planet. I get to write with her. The Warren Brothers are friends of mine and I write with them all the time. Lance Miller is a great songwriter. Tom Douglas - you can't get any better than that. I write a lot of stuff but it's got to stick.

I may be a real bad boy, but baby I'm a real good man.
