“A lot of times, Im singing things that are observational and am definitely including myself.”

I don’t push buttons to push buttons. Throwing the rebel card out there is really cheap.

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 wear my tears on my sleeves.

If I’m gonna be stuck inside might as well keep it dreamy.

Newsflash: karma’s an even bigger bitch than me.

Say what you think, Love who you love.

Certain kinds of people will always have an issue with my music. But that’s fine; it’s OK. I don’t want to be the McDonald’s of music.

Too many people focus on writing what they think they should write, what should be in a song, what radio would want.

Creativity happens where it’s dangerous and scary: where you’re not comfortable.

I drink to feel I smoke to breathe Just look what love has done to me.

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.

Don’t wreck my reputation, Let me wreck my own.

Follow your arrow, Wherever it points.

It’s hard to remember a time when I wasn’t writing.

I know what I want and it gets in my way. I know I’m not easy.

Im all about small towns. I think its a great place to grow up.

I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.

Basically, I started singing when I started talking. Music has just been my saving grace my whole life.

Reality cannot be found except in One single source, because of the interconnection of all things with one another.

I love doing shows. I love rocking shows. I love playing instruments. I love singing. If I can find a way to do that and feed my family, then I’m a happy man.

I can sing love; only I’m afraid the lyrics might get shattered again.

Only when I was singing did I feel loved.

I should be on Broadway. You have to sing, you have to dance, you have to speak well, and I’m good at all of those!

I just love music – I was always singing and dancing.
