The "Faithful" singer, who is gearing up to release a new album soon, previously opened up to PEOPLE in April 2016 about his own father (hitmaker Casey Beathard), praising him as "a huge role model."
"His first breakout song was Kenny Chesney's 'No Shoes' and he's had quite a few since then: 'Don't Blink,' 'Boys of Fall,' 'Homeboy,' " Tucker said of the tunes — the latter of which was sung by Eric Church but written by Casey, 54. "It's just been great to have him around. I've always been a fan of the way my dad tells stories."
"They kind of far-fetched the title, but I definitely was the inspiration behind it," he added of "Homeboy," explaining that he has "always been rebellious and just wanting to do my own thing."
"I was lost and trying to find myself and figure out some stuff. There was a lot of internal stuff that was going on with me, and just feelings that I just couldn't really ever express. All that did lead me and continues to lead me to songwriting," he explained. "That's why I started writing songs in the first place — I just needed an outlet for a lot of things. I don't like expressing feelings and talking about things, but when I found songwriting, you can really just pour it all out in a song. It was really the best feeling for me ever and still is."
