You give him too much credit, he didn't write the song. In fact, he only wrote four songs from his ten albums, most recently in 2009. Like most of his country contemporaries he's not an artist, just a pandering performer.

And all this considering that in order to write a country song you just have to arrange the words country, road, mama, Virginia, truck, beer, boots, tan legs in a slightly different order.
