audio  Jake Owen talks about his new single, “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.”
