Tim McGraw has done pretty well for himself as a country singer, but he admits that for a long time, he had other career aspirations until he picked up a guitar.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to be a lawyer, as long as I could remember. In fact, I think I was 11, 12, 13 years old and I saw And Justice for All with Al Pacino. And from that point on I always wanted to be a defence attorney. I went to college to be a lawyer, and then I picked up a guitar and started playing music, so that all went out the window. So, if there was something I\u2019d wanna learn more about, it\u2019d be the law and government. I\u2019m sort of a political junkie, so I would like to learn more about that, and probably history. I\u2019m a big history fan as well.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Meanwhile, Tim has finally created a white t-shirt with the words BBQ STAIN on the front of it, inspired by the first line of the chorus of \u201cSomething Like That\u201d:<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt
\nShe was killing me in that miniskirt\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nThe shirt is available now on Tim McGraw\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
