One word, that's all you said and something in your voice caused me to turn my head. Your smile just captured me.
There are only so many hours you can sit on the bus and watch TV or play basketball or whatever we do to pass the time before we go out onstage.
I love the fact that I can go out there on stage with a guitar and sing a song that means something to somebody.
I have 120 employees on the road every day, and about 30 other employees off the road.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm a helluva kisser.
I grew up in east Tennessee, and everybody knew everybody's business.
When I was playing for tips in college, I felt a fire in my soul. I had the same principle of focus that I had learned playing football.
I don't think I ever feel sexy. I don't think that's for me to decide, if I'm sexy or not.
I can say that I don't see myself with the foot on the gas pedal as hard as it's been down for 16 years.
First and foremost, I consider myself a songwriter.
It's very hard for me to relax.
When I go pick up a record, anybody's record, and put it in a CD player, I want to be taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride. I want to feel, I want to laugh, I want to cry, I want to remember somebody, I want to be moved some way.
I was standing onstage last year, and I felt like I wanted to be somewhere else. No matter how many people were out there, it all just felt like a blank sheet of paper.
I'm so hands-on, from the color of my tour bus to what I eat for dinner at 5 or the way the lights are hung.
