Country music superstar Keith Urban's emotional 60 Minutes Australia interview from 2013 is a must-watch! Check it out here!
Ever since he was a child, Keith Urban wanted to be a country music star but it still took 20 years for the kid from Caboolture, Australia to make it big. There were many speed bumps along the way: drugs, alcohol, and plenty of rejection. Then everything started to click for Keith – hit singles, his marriage to actress Nicole Kidman, and their two daughters. While he’s a household name in the U.S., it wasn’t until his appearance on The Voice that Aussies really began to know – and like – Keith Urban. Despite all this time in the public spotlight, he’s still an enigma. So when 60 Minutes Australia‘s Tara Brown caught up him in 2013 while on tour in the United States, she was happily surprised to find the star ready to let his guard down.

“We Were” Lyrics
We were just a couple years short of the age by my name on my fake ID
And still ’bout a hundred away from the day your daddy said you could run with me
We were a couple of line-steppers that just couldn’t wait to step over the line
Never thinking we wouldn’t last
I was your first and you were mine
We were leather jackets hanging onto Harley
Two heartbeats in the moonlight
We were both feet hanging out over the edge of a water tower skyline
At least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss her
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
We were gonna make it, weren’t we, baby?
Had it all laid out in out in our mind
By the time we knew time was runnin’ out, we’d done run out of time
We were a downtown, Saturday night, last call, cover band
‘Til that last song played, never thought we’d fade like the stamp on the back of her hand
We were her on my shoulders, lighter in the air
“Pour Some Sugar on Me”
We were top down at Johnson’s field when she whispered that she wants me
At least there’s a little bit of sweet in the bitter, though a part of me is always gonna miss her
I am who I am, I just miss who I was when we were
Yes, I do
Friends say, oh well
Let that ship sail
You gotta let go of her
Just wasn’t meant to be
But somewhere down deep, I still believe that we were
