You play shows all over the country and hope that radio gets a chance to get out to see you, but that doesn't always happen like that.
-
To do what I love every day and have the support of the fans, it does not happen like this all the time, so it is important to be thankful... I know it doesn't last forever, and we have to get it while we can.
-
For me, that first album, there was a lot of fun stuff.
-
I've had the chance to meet families with children who are sick, and it's heartbreaking.
-
I've been able to experience so many things since I've had my record deal.
-
Every year since we got started, I think that it's going to get harder to top it, but with all the support, somehow things keep getting better. That must mean we are doing something right, so we're just going to try to keep doing what we're doing.
-
That's why I've always loved country music. Whether it's sad, pumps you up, or it's breakup songs, it's all real-life things.
-
We titled it, 'You Should Be Here,' for one, because just how special that song is, and I think it kind of sets the tone for this album. I've established that I like to have fun, but this is a little more than that - this album has got some fun stuff, but it's also got topics that I haven't gotten a chance to touch, and I'm so excited about it.
-
Sometimes, you want to write how you feel, but making people have fun, that's part of it, too.
-
That's why I fell in love with country music: it made me feel something.
-
When you find what you love, and you find people that will support you, you're living the dream whatever you do.
-
We wouldn't be where we are without people loving our music.
-
This album means a lot to me, and partnering with Cracker Barrel to have it in their stores is very exciting. I am a big fan of the brand, so it was a natural fit to team up with them to have 'You Should Be Here' in its stores nationwide.
-
I always say I broke my mom's heart when I left. I don't know if that's what any mom wants for her kid, just thinking about how hard it is trying to make it in this business.
-
Country's more than about what the music sounds like. It's what you're saying and who you are as a person.
-
I always said, if I got a record deal, I'd want to record the best songs I could, whether I wrote them or not.
-
When I left college, it broke my mom's heart, but I knew I had to be in Nashville. I knew that was the place you had to be in to become a better songwriter, and that's what I wanted to move there for and to ultimately get a record deal.
-
All I've ever wanted is a nice truck, and that's what I got.
-
I've stopped questioning things and how things work.
-
I want people to know that I'm not just 'Chillin' It.' I'm a real person. There's heartbreak and trials, and I hope I put that in my music.
-
The fans are always wanting new music, and with as much as I love to write, I might as well give them the music while I've got it.
-
After I went to college, I realized that no matter how much I loved sports, I was ready to have fun, and that was right when I started to sing.
-
Life ain't about just 'Chillin' It.' I've learned that.
-
I always say, 'If it looks good on a T-shirt, it would probably be a pretty cool title or cool song.'
