Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

I wanna get drunk 'til I'm off my mind. One bourbon, one scotch, and one beer.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.

I don't do nothin’ I don't want to do.

When I die, they'll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die.

I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks.
