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.
The idea of massive amounts of fame-having my face on Walgreens end-caps and pizza boxes-I don't fantasize about that. I'm happy with just being a songwriter. I'd rather have smaller numbers [of fans] that are really into what I'm doing than a massive amount of people that don't really know what I'm about.
Say what you think / Love who you love.
Just like dust, we settle in this town.
I burned my own damn finger pokin' someone else's fire
I'd rather be more of the hippie country chick - as in, instead of pointing a finger, just maybe saying, 'We're all screw-ups. We're all in this kind of together. We're all just figuring this out.'
