Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life... I like to be outdoors, I like to hunt, I like to fish, I like to play golf.
I discovered in college that country music could be fun adding some swing to it.
I got ex's all across the country and I owe everybody in town. I got bill collectors a callin' me up, and lawyers trying to track me down.
Cause I'm carryin' your love with me From West Virginia down to Tennessee I'll be movin' with the good lord speed, carryin' your love with me It's my strength for holdin' on Every minute that I have to be gone I'll have everything I'll ever need Carryin' your love with me
This is the kind of problem you want to have! Country radio has been great to me my whole career. I can't thank those folks enough.
You know, traditional country music is something that's going to be around forever.
Country music is important to me, and I love it, but it's not my whole life.
Country music and just music in general really lost a great friend today,
You're the only one and only My heart's beating for I love you, need I say more
I want to reach the point where people hear my name and immediately think of real country music.
In all the world you'll never find a love as true as mine.
I'm a country singer. I love all kinds of music, but country is where my loyalty lies. That's just me and what I do, and I'm not going to change it.
I loved making Pure Country. It was a great learning experience for me, seeing another part of the entertainment industry.
I'm not out there trying to change the world. I'm just out there trying to sing country music the best way I can.
