I heard that your first exposure to country music wasThe Dukes of Hazzard.
Is it true that you once had a T-shirt that said The Dierks of Hazzard?Yeah.
And I still have the 45 of Waylon Jennings theme song its white from being overplayed.
That and Hank Williams Jr. is what got me into country music.
Thats how bad my s was.
I asked this girl to marry me, and luckily shes smart and she said no.
I was a mess, going to strip clubs and showing up to writing sessions completely hammered.
My hair was coming out in the shower.
I lost a bunch of weight.
[Laughs] But I wouldnt have found my wife if it wasnt for those circumstances.
Its like Garth Brooks said, Thank God for unanswered prayers.
Plus, it was my birthday.
It was really great.
And Luke, my producer, ended up putting that onto the track.
So now Im the guy whos putting his kid on his record.
Just you and Jay-Z, huh?
[Laughs] Thats right.
