If you try hard enough, you could make this a hit, but it's not going to inspire anybody to go dance in the kitchen or it's not going to inspire anybody to like make memories. And that's what I want to do. That's why I make music. And around Thanksgiving of last year, I'm from Texas and my dad's an old cowboy, tough old son of a gun. And he had come visit me in Nashville.
And I have two little guys of my own, like we talked about. And I was looking through the window in the backyard and the old cowboy was That taught me everything I know was teaching my little guys the same thing, like how to shoot a Coke can with a BB gun, how to throw a football. He was helping to put a log on the fire in the fire pit.

And I specifically remember that old man teaching me all the same things. And it just hit me like a ton of bricks. I was like, all of those things that seem like such nothing moments at the time, right? Like they're fleeting little one second. Here are their moments. They seem just like mundane life.

When you fast forward and you look back on them, a lot of them are core memories that you like hold on to forever for whatever reason. And I was watching that happen in real time and it hit me like a ton of bricks. And so that song ended up falling out that afternoon. And I think it was just like, It was a way for me to peel back the curtain a little bit as my fans are getting closer to me.

I wanted to get closer to them and tell the story a little bit more. And I just it felt like a really special time in my life. And I wanted to capture that because it moves fast if you let it and you got to grab onto those memories while you can. So that was how the song was inspired. And I was a little bit nervous because it's as vulnerable as I've gotten songwriting.
