And so we were like, well...

we want to raise our kids around like, you know, my grandfather and my grandmother, like super close to me.

Um, and my wife's part of a big Italian family and family's everything.

So we were like, we want to raise our kids with that.

We want to give them that.

And the only thing that was keeping us in Nashville was that, that contract to write.

And so when that kind of dried up, we moved out to Texas and I was like,

all right, I'm getting the band back together.

I'm going to buy a van.

We're going to go hit the road.

And everybody here in Nashville was like, dude, if you want a music career, you're basically committing career suicide by leaving.

Like it's not going to, that ain't going to happen.

And I was like, man, well, we're just going to,

We're going to give it all we got.

We're going to go build it the way that, you know, the only way that I knew how to build it, which was show by show on the road.

And as soon as we got there, like the world shuts down for a couple of years.

It's like it was just the worst timing.

So no tour.

You're getting no publishing money because you're not writing anymore.

And now you can't tour to make money.
