I held four clean aces. I had youth, almost a decade of hard-core bar band experience, a good group of homegrown musicians who were attuned to my performance style and a story to tell.
I always look terrible before the show. That's when I feel worst. And after the show it's like a million bucks. Simple as that. You feel a little tired but you never feel better. Nothing makes me feel as good as those hours between when you walk offstage, until I go to bed. That's the hours that I live for.
The criminal ineptitude makes you furious.
I guess there's just a meanness in this world
There's a girl across the bar, I get the message she's sending. Mmm, she ain't looking too married, and me, well, I'm pretending.
You get used to anything, sooner or later it just becomes your life.
I met a girl and we ran away, I swore I'd make her happy every day. And how I made her cry, two faces have I.
If I have a song that I feel is really one of my best songs, I like it to have a formal studio recording because I believe that something being officially released on a studio record gives it a certain authority that it doesn't quite have if it comes out on a live album or is just a part of your show, you know.
We said we'd walk together baby come what may.That come the twilight should we lose our way.If as we're walkin a hand should slip free,I'll wait for you And should I fall behind,Wait for me.
Mister, I ain't a boy, no I'm a man, and i believe in a promised land.
The story I have told throughout my work life I could not have told as well without Clarence.
I was real good at music and real bad at everything else.
When I was very, very young, I decided that I was gonna catalogue my times because that's what other people who I admired did. That's what Bob Dylan did, that's what Frank Sinatra did, Hank Williams did, in very different ways.
The audiences are there as a result of my history with the band but also as a result of my being able to reach people with a tune.
