“Oh, the tour’s goin’ great. It’s a lot of fun. Me bein’ out with Kenny is always a lot of fun. I’ve been out with him many times before. I’m at a little different place in my life now than I was the previous times I was out on tour with him, livin’ a single bachelor lifestyle, which tends to lend itself towards different scenarios (laughs) than it does now, but anytime you can have an opportunity to go out on the road with somebody that literally will go down in country music history as like a legend and someone that has built a career so large that it’s only something you can dream of attaining, is an amazing opportunity.”

“I’ll gladly go out and tour the country with Kenny anytime, man. Plus, you know, he’s got a jet. (laughs) So…I don’t. (laughs) So, I…you know, every now and then I get a ride home, and I get home a little quicker than my bus.”
