The song is really fun, but I can remember those feelings of betrayal.
I think that I'm known for my vulnerability. I didn't ask for that. I didn't ask for some of the stories that have brought me success.
When I close my eyes, I imagine a riot going on when I hear this riff.
I had won a CMT award for my duet with Chris Stapleton — one of the greatest singers of all time sang a song I wrote with me — and the next morning I wasn't nominated for an ACM for the first time in a long time. Those 12 hours made me go from ‘I'm awesome’ to ‘I'm nothing.’
The record label wasn't around, and in those days we were so big, we didn't really listen to anybody. We could do 10-minute long songs.
Instinctively, musicians are lazy. They are some of the laziest people in the world.
