I like to follow my favorite team and talk sports with my band or fans. You won't believe how many musicians are sports fans. We have so much time on tour that we need these outlets for relaxation.
Because of the changes in the Padres team I played with last year, I felt like a veteran recently when I worked out with Jason Kendall and he told me he's liked listening to my records since he was a kid!
True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt.
I believe in the 'Wal-Mart' school of business. The less people pay, the more they enjoy it.
I'd much rather have the honesty than not. Because if you will say what's on your mind and get it off your chest, then the sooner I can prove you wrong!
I feel my job as an artist is to drive people to country radio. That's my job as a country artist. So these streaming places, especially these on-demand streaming places, where you can just push a button and hear it as many times as you want, like YouTube, any of that stuff, that's taking all the ears away from country radio.
I understand that music is a business, but for people who have control of their stuff, like little Taylor and other artists, I think you'll find them standing up for their music every chance they get.
That old star that you been wishin' on is shining mighty bright, but it's the fire inside your heart that's gonna lead you to the light.
A mistake isn't a mistake if you learn a lesson from it.
A dream is like a river ever changing as it flows and a dreamer's just a vessel that must follow where it goes.
Heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just beyond the fear. No, heaven's not beyond the clouds, it's just for us to find it here.
I still use the guitar pretty much just to hide my gut.
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.
Sometimes I thank God... for cheeseburgers.
