Growing Up In Georgia, I Used To Think People Up North Or Out West Were So Different. They're Really Not. They're Just Regular People Who Live In Small Towns. They Grow Up And Try To Raise Families And Have A Job And Go To Church And Play Softball. It's That Way Everywhere.

Probably Some Of The Songs I Never Even Really Listened To The Lyrics. Half Of Them I'd Hear Off The Radio And Was Probably Singing The Wrong Words And Didn't Even Know It.
