I know what it takes to put a record together, so I'm not looking for people to come in and shape it.

It's the same old story you've heard a thousand times. Somebody's trust gets broken. Somebody's left behind.

People look at you, and they've got just the perfect little box for you, the perfect category. Call you a redneck. Call you a hillbilly. Like those were insults.

It's a great day to be alive. I know the sun's still shining when I close my eyes.

Just because I'm country music don't mean I don't have a little bit a' soul down in there somewhere.

I've been very fortunate to have had the opportunities to have the career I've had.

You left me for a dream you had to follow, but I thought goodbye wouldn't last that long.
