I've had the chance to meet families with children who are sick, and it's heartbreaking.
-
For me, that first album, there was a lot of fun stuff.
-
I want to do this for a long time; I want people to be saying, 'What is he doing still playing in clubs?'
-
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.
-
That's why I fell in love with country music: it made me feel something.
-
I know that a lot of our troops like country music. I would love to do anything I could to just help them out.
-
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.
-
The power of music is real.
-
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.
-
I've been able to experience so many things since I've had my record deal.
-
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.
-
Country's more than about what the music sounds like. It's what you're saying and who you are as a person.
-
I'm just glad to be singing songs that touch people.
-
When you find what you love, and you find people that will support you, you're living the dream whatever you do.

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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sometimes, you want to write how you feel, but making people have fun, that's part of it, too.
-
I've stopped questioning things and how things work.
-
I always say, 'If it looks good on a T-shirt, it would probably be a pretty cool title or cool song.'
-
All I've ever wanted is a nice truck, and that's what I got.
-
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.
