A second album, &#039;&#039;[[Do You Believe Me Now (album)|Do You Believe Me Now]]&#039;&#039;, was released in August 2008 via [[Big Machine Records]] subsidiary Valory Music Group, and its title track became his first Number One hit in late 2008. &#039;&#039;[[Sara Smile (album)|Sara Smile]]&#039;&#039; followed in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;

She served four months in prison in 1985 when Wayne was 12.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allmusic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; After entering a group home, Wayne ran away and lived with his mother for a brief time before living on the streets and with his sister, Patricia, for a short while.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allmusic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; He was invited to move in with an elderly couple, Russell and Bea Costner, (just down the road from where his mother was living), after being hired to mow their lawn.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cmt&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/wayne_jimmy/bio.jhtml|title=Jimmy Wayne biography|work=[[Country Music Television]]|access-date=September 17, 2009|archive-date=April 13, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090413165019/http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/wayne_jimmy/bio.jhtml|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After finishing high school and earning a degree in Criminal Justice, he worked as a guard at the [[Gaston Correctional Center|Gaston Correctional Facility]], where he worked as a corrections officer for four years before moving to [[Nashville, Tennessee]], to pursue his musical interests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Musical career==&lt;br /&gt;
In Nashville, Wayne worked as a songwriter for [[Acuff-Rose Music]], collaborating with [[Dean Dillon]], [[Sanger D. Shafer]] and others while practicing his guitar and songwriting skills.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allmusic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cmt&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; One of his first cuts as a songwriter was &amp;quot;[[Put Your Hand in Mine]],&amp;quot; released by [[Tracy Byrd]] in late 1999 from the album &#039;&#039;[[It&#039;s About Time (Tracy Byrd album)|It&#039;s About Time]]&#039;&#039;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allmusic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; By 2001, Wayne had signed to a recording contract with [[DreamWorks Records]]&#039; Nashville division.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;allmusic&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Jimmy Wayne&#039;&#039;===&lt;br /&gt;
Wayne released his debut single, &amp;quot;[[Stay Gone]],&amp;quot; in 2003. This song was inspired by his sister, Patricia, who explained her marital troubles to him by saying &amp;quot;everything would be better if her husband would just stay gone,&amp;quot; according to [[Country Music Television|CMT]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;cmt&amp;quot;/&amp;gt; This song went on to peak at No.&amp;amp;nbsp;3 on the U.S. &#039;&#039;[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]&#039;&#039; Hot Country Singles &amp;amp; Tracks (now [[Hot Country Songs]]) charts that year.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Big Machine and Valory (2006–2009)===&lt;br /&gt;
After DreamWorks closed in 2005, Wayne was transferred to [[Big Machine Records]]. His first release for the label was &amp;quot;That&#039;s All I&#039;ll Ever Need,&amp;quot; which he co-wrote with [[Mark Nesler]] and [[Tony Martin (songwriter)|Tony Martin]]. This song was slated to be the lead-off single to a second album with a projected release date of early 2007.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1541994/jimmy-wayne-delivering-new-single.jhtml|title=Jimmy Wayne delivering new single|date=September 28, 2006|work=CMT|access-date=September 17, 2009|archive-date=October 20, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121020222904/http://www.cmt.com/news/news-in-brief/1541994/jimmy-wayne-delivering-new-single.jhtml|url-status=dead}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wayne later moved to Big Machine&#039;s sister label, Valory Music Group. His first single for Valory, &amp;quot;[[Do You Believe Me Now (Jimmy Wayne song)|Do You Believe Me Now]],&amp;quot; entered the country charts in April 2008 and became his third Top Ten in August 2008. A second studio album, titled &#039;&#039;[[Do You Believe Me Now (album)|Do You Believe Me Now]]&#039;&#039;, was released on August 26.

&lt;br /&gt;
===&#039;&#039;Sara Smile&#039;&#039; (2009–2010)===&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2009, Wayne released a [[cover version]] of [[Hall &amp;amp; Oates]]&#039; 1976 single &amp;quot;[[Sara Smile]]&amp;quot;, with backing vocals from the 70&#039;s and 80&#039;s pop duo themselves. This cover is the lead-off single to his [[Sara Smile (album)|second album of the same name]] for Valory, released on November 23. The song has become Wayne&#039;s seventh Top 40 country single, as well as Hall &amp;amp; Oates&#039; first Top 40 country single. The album&#039;s second single is &amp;quot;Just Knowing You Love Me,&amp;quot; a duet with [[Whitney Duncan]], which debuted and peaked at No.&amp;amp;nbsp;59 on the &#039;&#039;Billboard&#039;&#039; [[Hot Country Songs]] chart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wayne joined [[Brad Paisley]] and [[Dierks Bentley]] on the American Saturday Night tour in mid-2009.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web |last=Jones |first=Kim |url=http://countrymusic.about.com/od/tourschedules/fr/AmericanSatNite.htm |title=Vans Warped Tour 2015 Featuring Family Force 5 |website=Countrymusic.about.com |access-date=October 24, 2016 |archive-date=February 25, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120225050901/http://countrymusic.about.com/od/tourschedules/fr/AmericanSatNite.htm |url-status=dead }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wayne was dropped by Big Machine Records/Valory Music Company in May 2010 midway through his walk halfway across America to raise awareness for the 30,000 youth aging out of foster care every year in the U.S.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.kikn.com/music/music-news/9851-montgomery-gentry-jimmy-wayne-part-ways-with-labels.html |title=Montgomery Gentry, Jimmy Wayne Part Ways with Labels |access-date=November 27, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110713150355/http://www.kikn.com/music/music-news/9851-montgomery-gentry-jimmy-wayne-part-ways-with-labels.html |archive-date=July 13, 2011 }}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Meet Me Halfway==&lt;br /&gt;
On January 1, 2010, Wayne set out on a {{convert|1660|mi|km|adj=on}} walk from Nashville, Tennessee, to Phoenix, Arizona, to raise awareness to the plight of the 30,000 children who age out of foster care every year in America, into homelessness [[Street children|homeless youth]] [[aging out]] [[Foster care|foster system]].
