I`m coming up on 40 next year, and after making so many records and doing music for so long, I`m looking for a change and a different perspective. And every now and then, I think I have something I want to say.
I`m actually not an exhibitionist at all. When you get onstage and you get under the lights playing music, I feel more hidden and more alone than anywhere else. You hide behind your music and let your emotions come out through the music.
I`m a private guy, and you don`t want to be out there preaching to people. But faith leads you in the decisions you make. You don`t always pick the right path, but it`s there in your conscience.
I want to run for the Senate from Tennessee. Not now, but when I`m 50, when music dies down a little bit. I know lots of artists and actors have those delusions of grandeur, but ever since I was a kid, it`s been of interest to me.
I think you have to be a little bit strict. You can`t be friend and their parent in a lot of situations, especially in this day and age where it`s so dangerous for kids. So there`s a bit of sternness, I guess, in the way I raise my kids.
