Urban was born in Whangarei, North Island, New Zealand (on 26 October, 1967). Before he turned two years old his family moved to Australia. By age seven, Urban was already thinking about emigrating to America and making his mark in Nashville. Urban began to learn the guitar at age six and began winning talent contests at age eight. By twelve he was booking his band in local clubs, and at fifteen he quit school to hit the road. In 1990, Urban signed with EMI in Australia and recorded his first solo album, which charted four No. 1 country hits in Australia. In 1992, he moved to Nashville to pursue the largest country music market in the world. Originally the front man for The Ranch, a three-piece group that released one album in 1997 to critical acclaim, Urban disbanded the group to pursue a solo career.
In the late 90's Urban battled an addiction to cocaine. After reaching a personal rock bottom in 1998, he became determined to give up the habit and checked into Cumberland Heights, a treatment center in Nashville. After cleaning up, Urban released his self-titled American debut in 2000, achieving three top 5 hits and securing the title of Top New Male Vocalist Award at the 2001 Academy of Country Music Awards. Urban, openly regarded as a modern day guitar virtuoso, has performed as a session musician on albums such as Garth Brooks' Double Live and the Dixie Chicks' Fly.
In an attempt to gain more exposure, Keith then appeared semi-nude in an interview for Playgirl magazine's April 2001 issue. The publicity attempt worked as Keith was on the cover of the magazine's readers' most requested issue.
Keith Urban released Golden Road in 2002, and the success of the single "Somebody Like You" sent his career into high gear. The single spent eight consecutive weeks at the top of the charts, remaining at No. 1 longer than any other country artist in 2002. Three other singles were released, two went to No. 1 and the third was No. 3. The album went platinum in every country where it has been released and is triple platinum in the United States. In 2004 Be Here was released and nominated for best country album at the Grammy Awards and at the Academy of Country Music Awards. Out of the five singles released from Be Here, three went No. 1, and two fell just shy of that mark to land at No. 2. In 2006 the album went triple platinum in the U.S. Urban has also released Days Go By, a greatest hits collection, in Europe. With a career total of 13 singles released, seven singles went to No. 1, two went to No.2, two went to No.3, one went to No. 4, and one went to No.18.
Touring as a supporting act for renowned country acts Brooks & Dunn and Kenny Chesney honed Urban's skills and stage-craft. Country video channel CMT signed on as the title sponsor of Keith Urban's first headlining arena tour titled Keith Urban Be Here '04. Urban continued his meteoric rise to fame in 2005 with the very successful Alive in '05 tour. He performed in the Live 8 Philadelphia concert on July 2, 2005 and had been chosen by The Gap to appear alongside seven other musical stars in their "Favorites" campaign. In 2005 he was named CMA's Entertainer of the Year. He released a DVD in late September entitled Livin' Right Now, recorded in California on December 2004. Urban performed "Better Life" on the CMA Awards and "You'll Think of Me" on the American Music Awards. He also performed at the Grammys playing "You'll Think of Me" and "The Lucky One" with Faith Hill. At the 2006 ACM Awards Urban gave two performances when he performed "Tonight I Wanna Cry" and played guitar for Brooks & Dunn's song "Believe."
Personal life
On arriving in Nashville, Tennessee in 1992, Urban quickly fell for veterinary technician Laura Sigler. The pair shared an on-off relationship from 1992, and lived together between 1998 and 2002. Urban paid tribute to Sigler in the sleeve notes to his self-titled first hit album, and dedicated love song "You're The Only One" to Sigler, writing "For Laura" at the bottom of the lyrics. After proposing to Sigler in 2001, the pair broke up in 2002.
In 2002, after his painful breakup with Sigler, Urban met supermodel Niki Taylor, who played his love interest in his music video for "Somebody Like You." Taylor had told her hair/makeup person, Debra Wingo, that she might be interested in being in a country music video. Wingo also does hair/makeup for Urban, and she mentioned that he was getting ready to do a video. Urban and Taylor dated on and off for three years until their split was officially announced July 2005.
Urban met actress Nicole Kidman at an event in Hollywood in January of 2005. In May of 2006, Urban and Kidman announced their engagement, and their plans to wed in Australia. They got married in Australia on 25 June 2006 at the Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel in the grounds of St Patrick's Estate, Manly, Sydney.
Worry 'Bout Nothin'
Keith Urban Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little piece of paper saying everything I see is mine
As long as you're beside me, it's all the same when the daylight ends
I ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
I ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
Tryin' to make the money but the money ain't gonna make me
Do nothin', I don't really want to
Tryin' to make the money but the money ain't gonna make me
You sittin' there lookin' all pretty
In the sunset tree line half-drunk with me
And I love that feelin' when the smile starts kickin' in
Ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
You sittin' there lookin' all pretty
In the sunset tree line sparkin' up with me
And I love that feelin' when the smile starts kickin' in
I ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
I'll take a blue sky highway, Painted Desert to the Vegas strip
Or a sleepy hometown with just one or two street lights lit
Where the blacktop dies and the gravel begins
Me and you skinny dippin' where the river bends
Ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
I ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
Paint the barn roof see Rock City
Kickin' back just a couple of sunshine hippies
Yeah, the way that you and the smoke and the whiskey blend
Ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
Paint the barn roof see Rock City
Kickin' back just a couple of sunshine hippies yeah
The way that you and the smoke and the whiskey blend
Ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
Oh oh, yeah nothin' again oh
Tryin' to make the money but the money ain't gonna make me
Do nothin', I don't really want to
Tryin' to make the money but the money ain't gonna make me
Do nothin' but spend a little time on you
You sittin' there lookin' all pretty
In the sunset tree line half-drunk with me
And I love that feelin' when the smile starts kickin' in
Ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
Paint the barn roof see Rock City
Kickin' back just a couple of sunshine hippies, yeah
The way that you and the smoke and the whiskey blend
Ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again,
Oh nothin' again, no no, oh oh yeah nothin' again
Keith Urban's "Worry 'Bout Nothin'" is a song about the simple pleasures of life and the importance of being present in the moment and enjoying the company of loved ones. The singer embodies a carefree attitude as he sings about wanting a hundred acres of land to call his own and a piece of paper that says everything he sees belongs to him. He is not concerned with money and material possessions; instead, he cherishes spending time with his partner and taking in the beauty of the world around them. The singer declares that as long as he has his loved one by his side, he will never worry about anything again.
The song's chorus reinforces this idea of being content with the little things in life and prioritizing relationships over material wealth. The singer contrasts his desire to make money with his true desire to spend time with his partner. He loves the feeling of being with her, looking at the sunset, and enjoying life's simple pleasures, such as the smoke of a campfire and the taste of whiskey. The song advocates for a sense of presentness in the face of life's uncertainties and encourages listeners to prioritize human connections over everything else.
Overall, "Worry 'Bout Nothin'" is a feel-good song that reminds us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of life's everyday moments. It expresses the idea that true happiness comes from surrounding oneself with people we love and from enjoying life's experiences as they come.

Give me a hundred acres, cut a path through the long leaf pines
I want to own a large land area with a path through the tall trees
A little piece of paper saying everything I see is mine
I want legal proof that everything I see on my land is owned by me
As long as you're beside me, it's all the same when the daylight ends
With you by my side, nothing else matters when the day is over
I ain't never gonna worry 'bout nothin' again
I will never worry about anything again
Tryin' to make the money but the money ain't gonna make me
I will not let money control me
Do nothin', I don't really want to
I don't want to do anything for money
Do nothin' but spend a little time on you
I want to spend my time with you
You sittin' there lookin' all pretty
You look very attractive just sitting there
In the sunset tree line half-drunk with me
We are sitting in the tree line at sunset and have had some drinks
And I love that feelin' when the smile starts kickin' in
I love the feeling when I begin to smile because of you
I'll take a blue sky highway, Painted Desert to the Vegas strip
I'll take a highway that passes through the Painted Desert and goes all the way to Vegas
Or a sleepy hometown with just one or two street lights lit
I would also enjoy the company of you in a small town with just a couple of lights
Where the blacktop dies and the gravel begins
We can go skinny dipping where the road ends and the gravel begins
Me and you skinny dippin' where the river bends
You and I will skinny dip in the river where it bends
Paint the barn roof see Rock City
We can paint a barn roof and go see Rock City
Kickin' back just a couple of sunshine hippies
We can relax like a couple of hippies enjoying the sunshine
Yeah, the way that you and the smoke and the whiskey blend
I enjoy the way we blend together with smoke and whiskey
Oh oh, yeah nothin' again oh
Nothing will worry me again
Oh nothin' again, no no, oh oh yeah nothin' again
I will never be worried about anything again

Keith never disappoints ❤️
Shari
This song is wonderful. I put the top down on my car and blast this song. Im not even a country music fan but I love Keith. So talented. Missing you on American Idol.
logotgr
This is a straight up jam. Not sure why it's the last track as those usually aren't released as singles and this is extremely single worthy. Though if it's too pop for country, then Getting' in the Way might be a better choice.
trentomite
Very underrated song from the new album. Total awesomeness.
Seslie
This is a amazing picture Of life. I really enjoyed the words and the beat and melody. Its like your trying to make yourself be better for yourself but still wanna make sure someone you love feel happy with you and everything you give them. Great wonderful song . I love you ❤️❤️
