I grew up playing music and enjoying good food, friends and family in my own backyard. – Rodney Atkins
I could be on 52nd and Third in Manhattan up and ask a strange for directions and they will help you, thats a rural heart. Your car breaks down in the middle of Iowa or somewhere, or Tennessee where Im from, people want to help each other. Given each opportunity, you see how people come together. – Rodney Atkins
Theres a book called The Shack – it had a lot to do with me coming full circle, meeting my birth mother. Awhile back, my birth mom and my adopted mom came to my show together, and it was pretty surreal. – Rodney Atkins
When youre adopted, no matter what, youve got issues with unconditional love. And you find out youre the product of the worst situation for a young girl to be in and start her life, and Im so grateful that my birth mom made the decision she made. She came from a rough situation. – Rodney Atkins
