There's mistakes that I have made. Some chances I just threw away. Some roads I never should've taken. Been some signs I didn't see. Hearts that I hurt needlessly. Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend, but it don't make no difference: The past can't be rewritten. You get the life you're given.
Play on, when you're losing the game. Play on, cuz you're going to make mistakes. It's always worth the sacrifice, even when you think you're wrong.
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.
It is so thrilling to be able to get back out and perform for the fans again. We put a band together last year to launch the album with radio and television promotion. We are all itching to get on a bus and really travel across the states and see the real America.
Instead of going through it all twice, this mashed everything together, I went to a record store this morning and bought my album. ... It's been surreal.
There are a few people I've expressed interest in working with. It's amazing to me that all these big names want to work with me.
