- Previously on "Music City."
- I didn't sign up to be by myself in Nashville
all the time.
You're not compromising.
- Here's the thing.
I'm staying here.
- Why would I go to law school in Nashville
when he's never here?
- We're both fighting different currents here.
- It's not good for our family.
- You want to sit in?
- No.
- This is it right here.
- I wrote a song with Bryant.
- So were y'all like ever a thing?
- No.
I don't want to date a musician.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
- I've never been on a blind date before.
- I haven't either.
Would you mind if I gave you a kiss?
- Oh.
- And she said no.
- Oh, my god!
- Let's just agree to take it slow.
- The whole Jessica thing?
It's not going to happen.
- You and Savana are a lot more compatible.
- That night at the party was just a red flag.
- I mean, I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't like you.
- If you want me to, I would love to help you.
Because I believe in you.
- Jessica, thank you so much for helping me with all this music.
- So this is like a thing.
But you had no idea.
It's either her, or me.

- Oh, gosh.
- But before the show, we're going to head out to California
so I can look at schools.
I'm like losing sleep over that.

You studied so hard for that.

I'm going to come in there.
OK?
Hey.
It sounds so good in there.
- I'm glad.
- Are you getting pumped to show everyone your song?
- Heck, yeah.
- Speaking of which, I just booked a gig,
and I'm going to premiere this song as a new single.
- Yes, yes.
- And I need you to come sing harmonies on it.
- OK.
I'm down.
When is it?
- New Year's Eve.
- No.
[LAUGHS] I can't do it New Year's Eve, Kerry.
- What do you mean?
- I am singing the national anthem for the Titans' game.
- So I'm going to replace you on harmonies on this song then.
- It's OK, you know what?
- It's going to be hard to beat, but...
- When you're out on the road, what are you going to do,
you know?
- Well, you were coming with me...
- Oh, I didn't know that.
-... on every tour I ever did, ever again.
- You're going to do great without me.
- Before I get too far into this New Year's Eve show,
I've got to go out to California with the wife,
and she wants to kind of look at some of the California law
schools, which is kind of a scary thing.
- Oh, I mean, are you thinking about going California, too?
- I'm already like on the road so much...
- That's true, that's true.
- I don't want to spend that much time away from my...
- From your kid and...
- From my son.
-... your wife.
- Right I mean, you can do music out in LA.
That could be a good thing.
- I've got kind of like a FOMO
when it comes to not being in Nashville playing.
- I completely understand the nervousness of it,
but you can do country music out there.
That's what love is about, you know?
You got to support each other.
And she's done that for you for a long time.
There's compromise in there.
You got this.

- How are you?

Come on in.
- What's going on.
I appreciate you.
- Do you want a drink or anything?
- I'm OK.
That's OK.
- You OK?
- Yeah.
I appreciate you all being at my birthday party.
- You did so good.
- I hope it sounded little bit better than...
- It did.
It was awesome.
-... first show.
I appreciate it.
- Did you hear about New Year's Eve?
- What about it?
- So Kerry landed a gig.
- Oh, really?
- And he's like, asked me to, you know, sing a couple songs.
- OK.
- And I thought because, you know, you're doing so awesome,
and like, we've been working together anyway,
maybe we could sing a song together?
- Um...
- No?
- That would... that...
That would be cool.
I just came here to like, kind of talk to you about that.
You know, this thing with Savana,
you know, she... she's very important to me.
And, you know, you are very... Very important to me, as well.
You've really helped me out with music
and our friendship does mean a lot to me.
- Where are you going with this?
- It just doesn't make Savana all that comfortable
that we're like, you know, spending a lot of time together
musically.
And, you know, she has hesitancy about moving forward
when you and I have this friendship going on.
I want to respect Savana's wishes.
So I'm not going to be able to spend that much time with you,
you know, going forward.
- So I'm sorry.
Like, just to be clear, are you saying that
like, we can't be friends anymore?
- Yeah.
- Now you're not like, giving up music, are you?
- I don't know.
You know, you have given me a huge foundation,
like, have helped me grow, and...
- I didn't give you anything.
You've had it all along.
All you just... you just needed encouragement.
So...
- Well, I mean, that is what I need and you...
Needed and you gave that to me and more.
And that's why it's not the easiest thing to tell you
that I can't see you anymore.
I just really hope you don't give up on music,
because you really do have something.

can't be friends anymore.

She is such a good person.
She's so sweet.
And here I am just like kind of telling her, you know,
I can't be your friend anymore.
It was kind of awkward.

- Yes, pretty much.
- I mean, you know I'm Team Savana.

the beginning of my music.
Been a big help in helping me like, be more confident.
I made sure to like, tell her, it was just like,
