The country singer and farmer from Mayfield, KY triumphed over opera singer Barbara Padilla in the live final to scoop $1m and the opportunity to headline a Las Vegas show.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, he said: "I thought it might never happen... It was a mystery standing right up to the end. Barbara has a phenomenal voice. I know she is going to have a great career."
He went on to say that he wants to use the money to help those around him but that he might buy himself a new truck if there was any left over.
"I have a pretty decent vehicle. I am not much of a material person. As long as my family is taken care of I am happy."
