Mainly what I learned from Buddy, ... was an attitude. He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn't have any barriers to it.
Take your tongue out of my mouth, I'm kissing you good-bye.
I'm just a man, no more or no less. Bad as the worst, good as the best.
When I look at you girl, I see a true work of art. So many beautiful things coming in one little heart.
Each tomorrow will depend on the love you give today.
This world that I live in is empty and cold/the loneliness cuts me and tortures my soul.
It was all devastating. I'd never dealt with losing anyone close to me, and I didn't know where to put it in my life. I was very young then. Buddy taught me so much in such a short time.
Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love.
Is your head up your ass so far that you can't pull it out?
I could have killed her when we first met and I've been out of jail by now.
The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that.
To me a guitar is kind of like a woman. You don't know why you like 'em but you do.
If you see me getting smaller, I'm leaving, don't be grieving, just gotta get away from here. If you see me getting smaller, don't worry, and no hurry, I've got the right to disappear.
Hitting the bottle again, ever than I've drunker been. Or is it drunker than I've ever been?
