I wondered how people would take me being a country music singer,
You can hold any girl that you like Fall in love when its easy at night But you wake up wondering why She aint ever something better When youre lost and youve run out of road Find what I already know In the end close is all there is But you wont find this
I've never been one for doing remixes. Then I've gotta decide which version am I gonna be tonight: country Carrie or pop Carrie? I'd rather just make country music that anybody can get into no matter what they listen to.
I respect country music because I feel like it's more about the talent and the songwriting and I put on a big show and we have a lot of stuff, but I feel confident in myself enough as an artist and a singer that I can have all of those fun toys and know that we don't need all the bells and whistles either.
I wondered how people would take me being a country music singer. I thought about deviating from that and singing other things. But... it doesn't really make sense for me to try to be something that I'm not.
It's such a sacred place. So many people have played there.
Everybody seems to have their arms wide open to me, so that's been great.
I'm not preaching. It's just a beautiful song I figured a lot of people could relate to whether they believe in God or not. Everybody has had a time in their life when they needed help with something.
As a proud Oklahoman, I'm honored to receive this recognition from my home state and hometown community,
I can't have a dog or cat on tour because of allergic Idols, but when this is over, I'm having an animal in my arms.
It's especially going to be great to get out there and perform in front of big crowds without having to worry about the competition aspect of it.
It's a very happy thing that we're doing to help people.
It's been absolutely fabulous. I've totally gotten to do everything I ever wanted and then some, and I'm just trying to stay there as long as I can.
It's been pretty crazy. I've been in L.A. or New York or Nashville or all over the place. I got to go home for about a total of a week.
