Tim McGraw On Signing Autographs: ‘It’s Better Than Roofing’
Tim McGraw is a lucky guy when it comes to working and he knows it. It’s been over thirty years since he has had to do a nine-to-five job just to make ends meet. As Labor Day approaches, McGraw looked back at some of his former jobs. He told us, “I’ve had a lot of side jobs, a lot of construction work. I did the old calling bank thing. I did that quite a bit. Gosh, I worked at restaurants. I worked as a line cook during my time. I roofed a lot.”
Tim added with a grin, “Growing up in Louisiana I roofed a lot. When you’re having dinner or something and somebody comes up for an autograph, and they always say, ‘Well, I bet you’re tired of doing this,’ or ‘I bet you hate doing this’ or ‘This gets old.’ And I’m like, ‘Look, it’s better than roofing.’ That’s usually my comeback.”
Back to music, the country superstar currently has a new song out with Post Malone on Malone’s F1-Trillion album. The song is called “Wrong Ones.”

McGraw is climbing the country charts with yet another hit song. This one is from his latest album, Standing Roon Only, and is called “One Bad Habit.”
Tim said in a recent interview about One Bad Habit: “I just loved the lyric right off the bat. Then when we got into the studio, we tore it all apart and put it back together, it came out fantastic.”
He added, “It was a lot slower when we first heard the demo. I love the guitar work on that song. The band picked up on the vibe I wanted to do. It was one of those songs that fell into a groove with me singing. When the record was done, we were blown away with it.”
In the same interview, McGraw revealed his one bad habit. While the country star admitted that he has many of them, he says the worst one is when his wife says pick your stuff up off the bathroom floor. He says after staying in so many hotels for 30 years, he throws stuff everywhere and leaves it a mess. McGraw confessed, “So I do that at home, and it doesn’t go over well. That’s probably the worst bad habit my wife gets on me about. But there are plenty more!”
