I'm just observing. I don't ever want people to think I'm preaching at them or wearing them out.
In the beginning, I wrote OK songs, but they didn't have a unique perspective.
I had a blast on tour with Little Big Town. We got to play some beautiful rooms around the country - some really amazing old theaters. And it was just cool to see a band that's been together for so long.
A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.
Im all about small towns. I think its a great place to grow up.
Obviously, I dont live and die by it, everything my horoscope says. But I feel like theres definitely something to it.
The more country that my music gets, the less it fits into the country world today. It's almost like there needs to be two genres, modern country and... country?
I drink to feel / I smoke to breathe / Just look what love / Has done to me
I know not every song has to be a powerful message.
I used to write poems more when I was younger, but I haven't in a long time. I just write ideas and paragraphs and go from there.
If I'm not writing about myself, then I sit down with people I really dig writing with and throw 'em out and see if something sticks. Their brain plus mine hopefully will make something interesting and cool and it will just snowball and we'll have a unique song by the end of it.
I wrote my first song when I was nine, and it was called 'Notice Me'. My Mom still has the piece of paper around somewhere, but I can't even imagine how terrible it is.
A great song will be great forever - it's timeless and classic in that way.
I'm a really huge John Prine fan; I love his clever conversationalist songs.
