If dirt were dollars, I wouldn't have to worry anymore.
For you girl, there is not enough love in the world.
We live a protracted adolescence. At some point you must leave the party.
I don't mind doing two or three Eagles songs and playing the drums. I'm not one of those artists who's going to sit here and deny the past.
Anyone who knows anything should know you cannot take a master track of a recording and write another song over the top of it. You just can't do that. You can call it a tribute or whatever you want to call it, but it's against the law. That's a problem with some of the younger generation, they don't understand the concept of intellectual property and copyright.
Selling eight million copies of your first album will mess you up.
In the old days, words like sin and Satan had a moral certitude. Today, they're replaced with self-help jargon, words like dysfunction and antisocial behavior, discouraging any responsibility for one's actions..
The more I know, the less I understand
Don't look back, you can never look back
Who knows how long this will last, now we've come so far so fast.
You're driving with your eyes closed.
I have a bad back partially from playing the drums and singing. I used to have to hold my body in such a position that my spine got out of alignment.
I said, baby, do you have no shame? She just looked at me, uncomprehendingly, like cows at a passing train.
I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter but my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter but I think it's about forgiveness... forgiveness, even if you don't love me anymore.
