Justin Moore’s latest hit, “Time’s Ticking,” is #3 on both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay charts.

It’s a message the Arkansas resident takes to heart, especially as the father of four kids, ranging from 16-year-old Ella Kole Moore to 8-year-old Thomas South Moore.

He admits his only son starting school really got to him.

“I’ve cried with all of ‘em startin’ kindergarten, which my oldest daughter made fun of,” he reveals. “She’s like, ‘Why are you cryin’?’ I go, ‘I did it for you and your sisters too, so stop.'”

“I think knowin’ that it was our last one to start school, I was like, ‘Golly, man, this is tough.’ You know, I’m the emotional guy in our household, the softy,” he adds. “My wife’s more of the tough guy.”

Justin just released the 17-track Greatest Hits… Moore to Come, which showcases the version of “Time’s Ticking” that adds Dierks Bentley.
