It might be a little more grown-up sounding, which is where I’m at in life in general. But I’m still keeping my morals and all my things that are important to me in my music. It’s not like I’ve gone off the deep end, and I’m singing about getting drunk until 2 a.m. That’s not me, either.” – The Tennessean
