It’s my funeral and a man sets several pieces of candy on my casket and walks away as the casket is lowered. My daughter runs after him. “Who are you? Did you know my father?” She asks. The man smiles. “I’m Dave from Sweetwater,” he replies. “I knew him all too well.”

The problem with dating girls in Nashville is they want you to pretend to be a redneck but not actually be one. “What’s your favorite rooftop bar?” Listen, Kayleigh, the last time I was on the roof top of a bar, it was one story and the cops got called.
