In 2003, Varble co-wrote Have You Forgotten? with Darryl Worley, who released it as the first single from his album of the same name. It was No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs for seven weeks, and peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Varble's song Waitin' on a Woman, co-written with Don Sampson, was recorded three times by American country music artist Brad Paisley. According to Country Weekly magazine, Varble received a call telling him that a former co-worker was in the hospital. Varble wrote the song after calling his co-worker at the hospital, wondering where his wife was. He told "the story and the idea [he] had for [the song]" to co-writer Don Sampson. After a few days, Varble and Sampson played "Waitin' on a Woman" for Paisley, and he decided to record it. Waitin' on a Woman debuted at number 51 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart dated for the week of June 28, 2008 and reached number 1 the week of September 20, 2008.

Varble wrote A Little More Country Than That with Rory Lee Feek and Don Poythress while the three were at a writing retreat held at Mickey Newbury's cabin near Nashville, Tennessee. The song was recorded by Easton Corbin and released in August 2009 as Corbin's debut single. The song peaked at Number One on the U.S. country singles charts dated for the week ending April 3, 2010, its thirty-second week on that chart.

In 2010 and 2011, Wynn was a contestant on CMT's Next Superstar.
