This never happens, but I was writing with my friend Ryan Hurd and Eric Arjes, and we wrote this song called 'Last Turn Home.' The next day, my publisher emailed it to Tim McGraw's label.

I always get less nervous when we get into rehearsals because it just gives me a better idea of how it's gonna go.
