" When Redbook caught up with John Corbett on the phone, he was in Rochester, NY, in the middle of a 20-city tour with his band. With the tiniest hint of a country twang, the West Virginia native told us the band had just gotten its first tour bus -- and had clocked more than 5,000 miles on the road in the past 20 days. He also told us that most of the time, he&amp;#039;s doing the driving. We call shotgun!  Is your farm a working farm, like with cows? Nope. We have cows, and horses, chickens and goats, but they&amp;#039;re just for us; they&amp;#039;re not working for anybody. We&amp;#039;re not selling them yet, and we&amp;#039;re not eating them.  If you had to go back to movies, is there a role you&amp;#039;ve been hankering to play? I&amp;#039;ve never really thought of myself as an actor. I&amp;#039;ve always been a guy who got into this business and was really fortunate and lucky to get cast in certain roles that didn&amp;#039;t require some great acting ability. I&amp;#039;ve never had to wear an eye patch with a parrot on my shoulder and a wooden leg going, &amp;quot;Aye, mateys.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;ve always been playing a version of myself in a weird way. I&amp;#039;ve never really been one of those actors who goes to bed dreaming about some role I&amp;#039;ll get to play. I don&amp;#039;t mean to sound ungrateful, but when the phone rings and they say, &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ve got this script and we&amp;#039;re going to send it to you for this movie,&amp;quot; I always say, &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s cool, let&amp;#039;s read it.&amp;quot; And if I like it, I say, &amp;quot;All right, when&amp;#039;s it going to shoot? Let&amp;#039;s do it.&amp;quot; I&amp;#039;ve never been really bummed out if I didn&amp;#039;t get a part, or never through the moon if I did get one.  Talk to me about the long-hair thing. Is that just some sort of country rock star requirement? I always like to wear long hair and sideburns, or long hair and a beard, and then I&amp;#039;ll get a part and they&amp;#039;ll shave me up and cut my hair really short, make it look like it&amp;#039;s like that all the time. I went through 12 years of Catholic school, where they had this hair rule, where your hair couldn&amp;#039;t touch your collar, and it could only be a certain length, and this was in the &amp;#039;60s and &amp;#039;70s, and everyone had long hair, and I wanted long hair. I used to get my school pictures and get a black marker and draw Beatles hair on my pictures because I wanted to have long hair. It&amp;#039;s nice not to have to listen to somebody else. I wouldn&amp;#039;t cut my hair now for nothing. It takes so long to grow.  Have you ever serenaded a woman? Yeah.  Any experience you&amp;#039;d like to tell us about in particular? When you&amp;#039;re learning how to play the guitar, it&amp;#039;s so funny. Did you ever see Starsky and Hutch, that movie with Ben Stiller? He comes into the kitchen and Owen Wilson says, &amp;quot;Just get my guitar and come and bring it to me.&amp;quot; And then he sings that silly song and then says, &amp;quot;Oh, go on, I&amp;#039;m just a simple guy with a guitar, singing his heart out.&amp;quot; Every guy who&amp;#039;s ever learned how to play the guitar, I think, knows that moment.  What, in your opinion, are some of the most romantic songs? Current? I know this sounds corny, but I like &amp;quot;She Believes in Me,&amp;quot; that Kenny Rogers song. I love another Kenny Rogers song called &amp;quot;Lady.&amp;quot; I like Kenny Rogers; I think he sings perfect love songs.
