Tim McGraw and Faith Hill sat down for an interview with Tracy Smith of “CBS Sunday Morning”, with McGraw opening up about how music quite literally changed his life when the star athlete — who was considering going to law school — first picked up a guitar in college.
“That was it. I was hooked,” revealed McGraw. “And first, because I realized that chicks like a guy with a guitar. That was probably the main reason that I kept playing.”

Even all those years later, he continues to be amazed by everything that music has brought to his life, even when things don’t go as well as hoped.
“There are nights when you walk off the stage and you think, ‘I never wanna do that again.’ There are those nights,” he explained. “It happens, where you lay down and you think, ‘Why am I doin’ this? Why am I continuin’ to do this?’”
His eyes filling with tears, McGraw, 50, continued: “But look, it’s been really good to me. Music has brought me everything good that’s happened in my life.”
While Hill, 50, appeared to be surprised by her husband’s emotional response, he added: “I mean, music has — anything that’s ever happened good in my life has come from music. So it’s a treasure to me. Whether I want to do it continually, whether I want to stop doing it, any of those things, it’s my saviour in a lot of ways.”
During the interview, Smith also wanted to know about “the last big, like, knockdown, drag-out fight that you’ve had, would you say? Not literally knockdown, drag out, but a good fight?”
McGraw responded: “I think the last thing we got, I didn’t load the dishwasher or something.”

His better half, however, did not agree. “Oh, you cannot say that — what? Oh, puh-lease! No, that’s not true. I don’t care about that stuff,” Hill interjected. “It really wasn’t that big of a deal. It was, for me, it’s just funny. Because I get him riled up. I know how to press those buttons. And if I’m a little angry, I can press those buttons big time.”
“And I can only dodge it for so long,” admitted McGraw.
