In music and life, Moore embodies the soul and character of someone who grew up in a small town. The lyrics from Moore’s self-penned song, “Heaven Ain’t That Far Away,” typify his philosophy on life:<\/p>\n

“It’s a dirt road, a fishin’ pole, a cold beer sittin’ on a tailgate. It’s an old church, a kind word. It’s where I was born and raised. Heaven ain’t that far away.” <\/p>\n

Moore’s performance is just one of the many highlights of the 2012 Cattlemen’s Ball. Other activities include:
