Uncle fought in Vietnam and then he fought a war all by himself.

Folk songs are evasive-the truth about life, and life is more or less a lie, but then again that's exactly the way we want it to be. We wouldn't be comfortable with it any other way. A folk song has over a thousand faces and you must meet them all if you want to play this stuff. A folk song might vary in meaning and it might not appear the same from one moment to the next. It depends on who's playing and who's listening.

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?

Stay free of petty jealousies, live by no man's code, and hold your judgment for yourself, lest you wind up on this road.

In the fury of the moment/ I can see the Master's hand In every leaf that trembles, in/ every grain of sand.

Don't know which one is worse, doing your own thing or just being cool.

I'm not a playwright. The people in my songs are all me.
