I was playing with steel picks on a steel guitar, and there was no amplification needed.

I never had the blues; the blues always had me.

When somebody blazes a path to a highway that never end, you should appreciate 'em some.

When I was hitch-hiking, people had to follow me, 'cause I didn't stay long.

That's what I liked about hitch-hiking. If a crowd wasn't big enough, I kept walkin.'

Blues is not a dream, blues is truth.
