“I was always pushing and looking for an opportunity where the timing made sense for us to come back home,” Moore said at the time.

“I came home one day from being on the road and my wife [Kate] goes, ‘Hey, you ready to move home?’ I had been asking her for years and I just had to wait until she was ready. A week later, we had already found a house and moved back home.”

“I would not still be doing this for a living if I didn’t live here,” Moore continued. “I just wasn’t happy. I don’t think you can perform your best at your craft unless you’re happy. It was the right move for us, and it’s been wonderful.”

He added that staying in Nashville, the nation music capital, was “never my intention.”

“I always just looked at it like a necessary part of my journey while I was trying to achieve my dreams,” he said.

Moore told the outlet that he coaches his youngsters in their sports activities and attends the church where he was baptized. He said it “sounds like a cliché country song,” but “it’s true.”
