I grew up on a farm with a lot of country folks, and they would have a test pen about 30 minutes away from the house, and we would go, $20, show them our fake ID, and we rode a couple bulls a couple different times. Just to say we did, we were just like, we got to. One day we won't be able to, and... Yeah, that was the extent of my bull riding career. But I knew that it wasn't a career.

It was more of like a dream. Right.

It was more of like a dream. Right.

Yeah, it's fun and it's a thrill. And I know why they do it.

He was a real human and he had shit going on just like everybody else.

Yeah, most of the time I either dig back into a past experience I had. I would say that's probably 75% of the time is just something that has directly happened to me. And then the other 20 to 25%, I put myself in a situation that I think of or something that could possibly happen to me or that has definitely happened to somebody else. And I just put myself in that headspace and that emotion.

And I tell a lot of people, I say, when you write a really, really sad song, you wake up at nine o'clock in the morning and you ride it and it's over by one, the rest of your day can be kind of awful. It can put you in a really, like, you really need to take some time off after that.

Yeah, like a real, like, real weird feeling space of, You don't want to get drug into that too much. You need to take some time to just do something you enjoy after that. And I enjoy writing songs, but when you write a... I wrote a murder ballad one time and I let it out. It's called Caretaker. And it's just a real aggressive song. It's about basically this bad outlaw. It's based in the 1800s.

And I come home to my girlfriend that day and she was talking, she was talking. I was like, baby, I really need to go to sleep. I really need to reset because I'm really pissed off right now. And I'm not pissed off at anything. I'm just in that mindset. And I was like, I just need to reset.

at a bar, which is, it's in Athens. It's called General's, my favorite bar of all time. He come up to me, he said, what's up, man? My name's Jack. I write songs. I'd love to get with you and show you some of them. And I was like, all right, whatever. So probably like six months down the road, we ended up getting together, wrote the craziest party song that I've ever let out.
