These eyes weren't made for crying, this love wasn't made to waste. These arms weren't made for battle, but to share in your embrace.
You're living life in real time, man, and we' ve got a good amount of work to do for each other. Hiding is not an option and you're going to step out and you're going to make mistakes.
I knew a girl, her name was Truth. She was a terrible liar.
If I fall, I fall. I'll rise up like anybody else.
I grew up listening to spiritual music, Blind Willie Johnson and folk.
I want to try to not be the child that had to go through too much too young. I want to be who I am now and not who I was then.
Folk is bare bones music.
If I'm inspired and music inspires me, then I will continue to play it.
I refuse to make uninspired music.
If interviews are just interviews or if music is just music, why are we even doing it? You only get so many hours in a lifetime, man.
Time is really for those who really need it. I mean, I deal with it. A lot of people are slaves to the second, minute hand. I can't do that!
The woman in you is the worry in me.
Every man's actions belong to him.
Life's the longest picture you're ever gonna take.
