I Grew Up In East Tennessee, And

Early On I Was Just A Kid In A Cowboy Hat With A Bunch Of Other Guys In A Room That Were Putting Out Some Records. Now Thank God, In The Past 3 Or 4 Years, When.. It's Really Hard To Burn An Image Of A Face With A Song These Days. I Think That The Songs Like 'don't Happen Twice' And 'young' Were Songs That Helped Me Do That And I Think That 'i Go Back'(did) That Even More.

It's Very Hard For Me To Relax.

I Hate Album Covers Where People Are Just Smiling So Big. It's Like A Neon Sign That Says Please Come Buy Me.

I Live On A Boat Two Months Out Of The Year, And If I Did Not Have That Then I Don't Know How I'd Be Able To Handle All This.... I Am A Very Intense Person On Stage. I Have To Remember Why I Am There, What I Am Doing. You Can Spend All Day Backstage Preparing For The Show And Lose Sight Of Why You Are Doing This. Off Stage, I Am A Very Simple Kind Of Guy. I Live My Life In Flip-flops.

I Love Being Able To Say A Quick Thanks To The Man Above For The Music And The Fact That We're Even In This Spot. If You'd Told Me This In College When I Was Sitting On A Stool And Playing For Enchiladas And Tips, I'd Have Bet Everything Against It.
