It’s very easy to sort of paint this as some sort of violent whiplash 180 musically, but it’s not. "Why Georgia" is exactly like "On the Way Home." I mean, it’s the same thing. "Why Georgia" is a country song. It’s not that there is anything challenging and different. It’s just newer. It’s not different because it’s an entirely different style of music, it’s just different because it’s another record.

Road trip with engineer Chad Franscoviak
There have been a couple of times people have said things to me that cut so hard, it changed—Sean Hurley said that my song called "On the Way Home" sounded like Chesapeake Bay rock, and I didn't put it on Born and Raised because of that. [Laughs] I swear to God. It didn't go on the record.

What's your favorite line you've ever written? I love the "played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker" personally
"Life ain't short but it sure is small/you get forever but nobody at all." My favorite lines are in some of the least popular tunes.
