I’m letting go of all my lonely yesterdays, I’ve forgiven myself for the mistakes I’ve made, now there’s just one thing, the only thing I wanna do. I wanna love somebody, love somebody like you.
It took a while for her to figure out she could run but when she did she was long gone, Long gone...
Everyday I see a little more of my father in me...
I think it took me a while to convince Nashville that what I do is genuine and my heart’s in the right place, and I love country music.
I don’t swear much; I’ve taken those words out of my vocabulary, and having kids, you have to have two sets of language!
I don’t want to impress, I want to inspire.
Raw is a good place for an artist. It’s where the truth comes out.
I make no apologies for being a huge fan of radio songs.
You changed my life. You changed my ways. I don’t even recognize myself these days. It must be a reflection of you, only you.
There’s no soul in perfection.
Country seems to be finding a bigger audience. Certainly an audience out of the general country scene is finding me.
Youre always in a different headspace when you make each record, so hopefully theyre all different. You just pick up things that you wish you hadnt done on the first one.

My father’s record collection was all country. That’s how I was exposed to it.
Getting on the bus and touring was my life. And when that was not around, I felt myself a bit lost at times, because that was all I had.
It’s something I’ve always loved doing. I’m not one of the artists who comes in and just does my bit. I’m there every second of every day. That’s my hands-on situation.
It’s not the case of turning in a bunch of songs and recording the next month. I think you’re looking for songs all year long and you’re writing all year long.
I love the beginnings of artists when all they’ve got is raw talent and nothing else.
I tend to write better when I’m not touring.
Everybody needs somebody sometimes.
