John Morgan:

Thank you guys so much. This next song we’re about to do for you is one that I came up with while we were out on the road. We’ve been keeping the roads hot in the last couple years, playing shows on the weekends. And it it occurred to me when we were coming back from a long trip and we hit our exit to go into Nashville, and I remember thinking, there’s no better feeling than this, knowing that I’m about to be home. And so I tried to capture that into this song when we were writing it. And I hope you guys enjoy it. It’s called “Long Ride Home.”

John Morgan:

Oh, man, this is so much fun. I’m loving this. L.A. weather, what’s up?

Tetris Kelly:

What’s up, man, I’m glad you’re loving the weather. I hope you’re loving the grilling too. We got some food going for you, my man. Thanks for hanging with Billboard.

Thanks for having me.

Well, we got to talk about that first song you did. “Friends Like That,” that got you Rookie of the Month at Billboard. So did you think a song about bromance was gonna get you this far?

No, I didn’t. Man, we were just trying to make a fun song out of a serious subject, I guess. And I don’t know, I didn’t really think that it would be kind of the song that put us on the map.

Keep watching for more!
