Justin Moore Discusses His Personal Connection To His New Single

When Justin Moore joins Miranda Lambert's "Revolution Continues Tour" tonight in St. Louis, he'll have some new material to perform. "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away," the lead single from his upcoming album, shows Justin's softer side. He says it struck an emotional chord with him after losing a couple of family members, and he knows he's not alone. Justin explains, quote, "Everybody, unfortunately, can relate to the lyrics in this song. You have to go through losing loved ones. Personally, I went through it a year ago losing my grandpa and aunt in the same week." Moore adds that "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away," quote, "will make you laugh and cry, and evoke every other emotion you can think of. To me, that's what country music is all about. That's why I make it, love it and live it."

Josh Kelley will join Justin and Miranda on the "Revolution Continues Tour." After St. Louis, the trek stops in Evansville, Indiana Friday night and in Cedar Falls, Iowa Saturday night.
