  Jake Owen says that he’s abundantly grateful this Thanksgiving season. (:33)
“Thanksgiving right around the corner, I have a lot to be thankful for: the health of my father that beat cancer this past year, my daughter who’s healthy, and you know, my wife and my family and the success we had on the road this year with my headline tour. You know, that’s a scary thing to step out there on your first tour and puttin’ tickets up for sale, sayin’, ‘Hey, come see…me,’ and hopin’ people are gonna show up, so, the fact that we sold a lot of tickets this year, we made a lot of fans, made a lot of people happy and smile — I have a lot to be thankful for, and I’m constantly sayin’ my thanks for that.”

  Jake Owen talks about his new song, “What We Ain’t Got.” (:40)
“It’s just myself and a piano and a steel guitar, but it’s the kind of song that like will pull your heart strings. It makes you realize that we all want somethin’ more than what we have at that moment. I go through it; I have everything I could ever want right in front of me right now with my wife and my child and a great career and tour buses and a family that’s healthy and great, but I still find that I want more, ’cause I’m competitive. And sometimes it just takes takin’ a minute to sit there and realize that what we have right in front of us is just as satisfying as anything that we could ever want — and sometimes it takes a little three-minute song like this one to make you remember that.”
